“In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths. Villagers in Israel would not fight; they held back until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose, a mother in Israel.” ~Judges 5:6-7

(Inspired by Deborah, a judge and woman of influence in Israel)

Solidarity.

It starts with convenient encounters married to godly coincidences leading to engaging conversations sprouting from fertile soil. It is a commonality despite our personalities, our eccentricities, our past…

and it is seasoning YOU.

You are being seasoned for victory, developed by the Divine to build bonds that are closer than blood, craft intricacies that look like family trees, and form Christ-like camaraderie.

Yeah. You.

Did you know God wants to use YOU?

Because with you, the alienated become included, the estranged are embraced, and strangers turn out to be collaborators. People sway unknowingly to the cadence of your church fan. They lovingly hold hands where there are two or three. They touch and agree despite proximity… because of who you are, and this is what you do.

You are an Eloquent Warrior, and Solidarity is your sword. Only the God n You can use the complexity of how you love to win incomprehensible victory.

So, stop denying how the Spirit wants to use your mindful and compassionate tendencies. This is what you DO. This is how you FIGHT.

You UNITE. No more looking for weapons of mass destruction.

My heart is with Israel’s princes, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the Lord! ~Judges 5:9

And because of what you do, God’s people are equipped to hum in sequence where there is no music and give comfort where there are no words.

It’s time to go to work, Eloquent Warrior. Work to build unity in God’s community. Something beautiful will be revealed when you do what you do.
