Daily Bible Reading with DragoNate #41

Details

Judges 5

I pray blessings on you as you read.

(v. 7) "Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel."

My Thoughts

This chapter was difficult for me to get anything out of, at least personally. The only thing I could think of was that Deborah's song, which she sings, seems to be a song about herself. It is a song about what was before Deborah rose up and after. Honestly, it sounds a little bit conceited.

Sure she did praise God in her song as well, and it wasn't one hundred percent about her, but the parts about herself sound conceited. The only reason I could think of why this would be in the Bible is to show that God cares about the details. Deborah's song likely did not have a large impact on anything. Maybe it was sung more than once, as a reminder of the victory. Other than that, I doubt much would be different if she had not sang it in the first place.

It is a small detail. God cares about all the details. He knows the exact number of hairs on your head, the exact number of skin cells on your body and God knows every word that you have ever said or thought. He can pinpoint a specific drop of blood as it travels through your body. Every single tiny little detail, no matter how insignificant you think, is important. It makes you who you are. Nothing escapes God and I believe that this chapter of the Bible is there to show us this, because Deborah's song does not seem like a hugely important detail to us.

When God looks at our lives, He does not just look at our sins and our good deeds and compare them. He doesn't even look only at specific, large, significant ones either. God looks at every little thing. I don't believe He compares them though, because God does not look only on the surface. Your heart is what matters to God, and where your heart is in all that you did. A lot of times, we look back at things and we focus on the highlights. In reality, everything should be a highlight.

God cares about every single detail about you and about your life. All of it matters greatly to Him and you matter greatly to Him. When you think back to highlights of your day or week or a trip, try thinking back to some of the smaller, seemingly insignificant things as well and remember them.
