May those who love You, rise and shine like the sun in in full strength! Then there will be peace .Judges 5:31

1. By believing that God sees you as essential to His program.

 

Villagers in Israel would not fight; they held back until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose, a mother in Israel. Judges 5:7

God saved and called us, He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was His plan from before the beginning of time. 2 Timothy 1:9

He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:14

You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. John 15:16

“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! Isaiah 49:15

2. By making it your goal to have a heart that reflects the heart of Christ.

My heart is with the commanders of Israel, with those who volunteered for war those who ride on fine donkeys, you who sit on fancy saddle blankets, and you who walk along the road. Judges 5:9,10

God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. Acts 13:22

Ezra set his heart to study and obey the Law of the Lord and to teach those decrees and regulations to the people of Israel. Ezra 7:10

Be patient with each other and forgive as the Lord forgave you. Over all put on love. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. Colossians 3:13-15

Create in me a pure heart, O God, Psalm 51:10.

My sacrifice, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God. Psalm 51:17

Put on the new self, a new heart which is being renewed in the image of its Creator. Colossians 3:10

3. By not allowing opposing or negative forces to have an influence in your life.

Why did you sit at home among the sheepfolds— to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks? Yes, in the tribe of Reuben there was great indecision. Gilead remained east of the Jordan. And why did Dan stay home? Asher sat unmoved at the seashore, remaining in his harbors. Judges 5:16,17

I didn’t mean, not to associate with immoral people, nor greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 1 Corinthians 5:9,10

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm, be strong in your faith. 1 Peter 5:8,9

Your commandments give me understanding; no wonder I hate negativity. Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:104,105

The sword went so deep that the handle disappeared beneath the king’s fat. So Ehud did not pull out the sword, and the king’s bowels emptied. Judges 3:22

4. By believing God will ALWAYS, make a way, despite the odds.

Sisera, who had 900 iron chariots, he ruthlessly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years. The stars fought from heaven. Judges 4:3 The stars in their orbits fought against Sisera. The Kishon River swept them away. 5:20,21

I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. I called forth the mighty army of Egypt with all its chariots and horses. I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned, their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick. “But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. I will give your life a boost. Isaiah 43:16-19
