May 8th – Capsule 8
TOPIC: FIND YOUR PLACE
BIBLE TEXT: And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled – Judges 7 vs. 21.
It’s one of the greatest military victories in the Bible. Three-hundred men willing to stand in their places and as a result, the enemy was routed. All Gideon needed was a consecrated few, and God did the rest. Have you found your place yet? Are you totally identified with the cause of Christ? Is your light shining?
Perhaps things are not going well in your local church, and you wonder what to do. The answer lies in a small group of believing Christians who will join with you to fast, pray, bring in the lost, and refuse to yield an inch to the enemy. The New Testament Church started with 120, and before it was over they were accuses of turning “the world upside down” (Acts 17 vs. 6).
Revival begins with or can begin with two or three people seeking the face of God, and refusing to settle for anything less. If you haven’t found your place yet, get into God’s presence and ask Him about it. He will reveal it to you, and when He does, you will find greater joy there than anywhere else you have ever been.
Prayer: Lord help me to find my place in your holy presence where I can find true joy and rest in You.
Insight: Until you find your place, your successes will be hollow, and you will feel like a misfit.
