At my age, I have to call upon all sorts of deliverers to help me. Various doctors serve to help me through my medical concerns. I consult with advisors to assist me with medical and legal issues. Repair services take care of the many devices and possessions I use. My wife is of neverending service to help me in all my day to day concerns. These people are available upon my call to deliver me from my temporary problems.
Judges 3:9-10 says, “But when the people of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the people of Israel, who saved them, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. The Spirit of the Lord was upon him, and he judged Israel.” When God’s people were in trouble, they cried out to God for help. God raised up a leader and placed His Spirit upon Him. The leader was then able to rescue God’s people. People are crying out to God for help. God has raised you up to be a leader. If you are His child, His Spirit is upon you. You are called to declare the Lord’s message to the people around you and to rescue them from evil.
