Being Prepared

When the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. - Judges 3:9

 God is continually preparing His heroes, and when the opportunity is right, He puts them into position in an instant.

Let the Holy Spirit prepare you, through the discipline of life. He is molding you, just as a sculpture is created. And when the finishing touches have been made, on the sculpture, it will be easy for God to put you on display in the perfect place.

The day is coming when, like Othniel, we will also judge the nations and will rule and reign with Christ on earth during His millennial kingdom. But before that glorious day we must allow God to prepare us just as He did with Othniel. We must allow God to work amid our present trials and in the little victories, the future significance which we can only imagine. You can be sure that if the Holy Spirit has His way with us, the Lord of heaven and earth has also prepared a throne for us.

Someone once wrote, “Every highway of life descends into the valley now and then. And everyone must go through the tunnel of tribulation before they can travel on the high road of triumph.”
