Days of the Judges, Day 4

No matter what. When we think about how we obey God, do we obey him no matter what? Read Judges 4.

Here we see a great history about the judge Deborah. While we could focus on many things in this recount, I want to look at the role of Barak. He is willing to be obedient, but only if certain circumstances are met.

Is our obedience to God based on circumstances? Will we only follow him if he meets our criteria? Instead of setting limits and criteria for God, our response to God is to say, yes Lord. Unlike Barak, our obedience to God comes with the idea that it is “no matter what.”
