"Curse Meroz" said the angel of the Lord, "Curse, curse its inhabitants, because they did not come to the aid of the Lord, using the LORD, among the heroes. " (Judges 5:23)
The Angel of the Lord pronounced a curse on Meroz severe because they did not help in times of crisis and need. The day of battle, they did nothing to help the Lord.
God called his people to action. You were saved to serve. "Practice the speech, says Jacques," and does listen not only to deceive you with false reasoning "(Jacques 1:22). Too often when we hear the Word of God, we say," Absolutely agree! It's so true! Yes, really, we should do more for God! "Then ... we do nothing.
LOVE IS DEMONSTRATED BY OUR ACTIONS.
Jesus said" Whoever has my commands and obeys them custody is the one who loves Me "(John 14:21). It may be that you leave church on Sunday morning and say" Wow, I really liked the sermon. "But what are you do? You see, if you do not lead to action, you build on the sand. You press a false sense of security. When the storm comes, your house will collapse because you did nothing - just listened.
I wonder how many of us belong to the clan of Meroz. We are so busy doing "our thing" that we do not answer the call of God. There is no evidence showing that in our lives we do the work of God. We are instead engaged in the sin of doing nothing.

Father, we pray that Your Holy Spirit raises the challenge of the action. Help us as we move volunteers from our own free will, Lord, to obey Your word and keep Your commandments.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
