Deuteronomy 20:8
Then the officers shall add, “Is anyone afraid or fainthearted? Let him go home so that his fellow soldiers will not become disheartened too.”
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Wed, March 31, FAINTHEARTED (Deut. 20:8). Actually fainthearted is contagious. If someone is fainthearted, he may infect not only 1, but also many. Many people will be fainthearted too. The infection would spread rapidly. Not long, everybody would be fainthearted. What is the sign of fainthearted.
a. Different focus.
If a man has different focus, he would be fainthearted to the other focus. Just like in these verses, the commander asked whether a person still thinkintlg about his new house, new vineyard, new bethrotal or else. He is not worthy to go to war.
b. Different passion.
If the passion is personal, to please self not communal, to win the war, then, he would be fainthearted.
c. Different commitment.
If he has fear, doubt or confusion, then, he would have no commitment. A person without commitment is very dangerous. He would stop in the middle of the war. Therefore, focus, passion and commitment are very important. No focus or having different passion makes a person fainthearted. If he has a focus, he has nothing else in mind. So, let’s be strong. ASH.
