Judges 3:9-11 NKJV
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. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim. So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

Shalom! Day #89. Do you know that all God needs is a man or a woman to do His will and to bring back a nation to God again? Let's pray. Father help us to be that man or the woman that would heed Your voice and do Your will. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen!
This chapter talks about Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar. It's about how God raised a man and used him to bring back a nation to God. In this rebellious generation we need to avail ourselves to God. Be quick to listen and do what the Lord has spoken to you. Be the man that the Lord wants to use to bring a change in a generation. God is looking at the attitude of our heart. If we are not willing to bind ourselves to His will, He will just raise up another person to do His will. God was and is available for you. He did not give any reason to avoid you or even not to serve you. But we always tend to find a reason not to be available for God - work, wife, children, studies, sick - this are the famous reason we always give.
Stand up, stand out and shine for Jesus! We need people who are really hungry and with passion for Jesus and compassion for the lost. To bring back this generation back to God, by all means. Are you ready to be used by God and for God, to be the executors of His purposes and plans?
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
