Judges 5:23 ERV “The angel of the Lord said, ‘Curse the city of Meroz. Curse its people! They did not come to help the Lord fight.’ They did not help the Lord against his powerful enemies."

HELPING THE LORD

Some people don't think that we can help God. To help is to offer your services and your resources, thereby making it easier or possible for someone to do something. God is a Spirit and He needs you and I to accomplish His will and purposes here on earth. We are called to partner with God for the reconciliation of men to God, for the furtherance of the gospel and for anything else He desires to do here on earth.

When there was a war, the people of Meroz refused to join the other Israelites. After the war was over, and the battle won, God cursed them.

God is displeased when we don't participate in whatever He is doing on earth, especially when we can. There are people who don't give to the work of God; they have but don't give. People who have and don’t give are obviously not praying too! You have no excuse! From your little or much, you ought to willingly offer your resources and your services to God! Don't wait to be asked, give! 2 Corinthians 9:7 says God loves those who are happy to give.
