The Stars Are On Your Side


“The stars fought from heaven. The stars in their orbits fought against Sisera.”

Judge 5:20


Reading the book of Judges this morning a quote I recently read came to mind, “God’s plans will always be greater and more beautiful than all your disappointments.” God really does make everything beautiful in His time. Romans 8:21 puts it like this, “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” If you are like me at all you have a tendency to limit God being for us to His person and forget that when the Bible says God is for us it means everything that is at God’s disposal is for us too, and since He is the Creator of heaven and earth His resources are unlimited.

God can and does use everything in the universe for His purpose, even those things that would seemingly be against us. In Judges 5:20 we read that even the stars from heaven fought for the children of Israel as they fought against her enemies. Though commentators differ on if it were the actual stars of heaven fighting Sisera on Israel’s behalf or if it were angelic beings or maybe the wind and the rain were working together creating discomfort on the battle field, it proves one thing true, God can and does move heaven and earth on our behalf.

Remember this today friend, no matter what is happening in your life, and regardless of your circumstances, God is bigger and His resources to aid you are endless. Just you wait and see, in the end we will find His word is true, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” even if He has to move heaven and earth to do it!


“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.”


Psalm 19:1–2

I LOVE YOU!
