ENDING THE BATTLE
Today's reading: 2 Samuel 1-4

The war stretched over miles and miles. The battles raged on. The skurmishes continued. The soldiers falling. The swords clanking, sparks flying. The victory remained out of reach--until...

Until someone decided to speak up and end it. And when he did? It ended. The troops fell silent. The trumpet was sounded and the armies headed home.

"Then Joab said, God only knows what would have happened if you hadn't spoken..." 2 Samuel 2:27 NLT

And in your life?

Is there something God's asking you to speak up about? Is there an apology He's urging you to make? Is there a truth He's leading you to stand on, proclaim or testify to?

And what will happen when you do just what He's asking?

Push embarrassment aside. Slide pride over and give its seat to honor, character or obedience. Believe that what God's asking you to do will benefit His name--and you as His child.

Speak what He's asking you to speak. Nothing more, nothing less!
