July 5, 2025 – Satan Sails a Sinking Ship
Judges 5:20-21
Sermon: 1802 Sin Cannot Win and Faith Cannot Fail

Pray Over This

“They fought from the heavens; the stars from their courses fought against Sisera. The torrent of Kishon swept them away, that ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, march on in strength!”
Judges 5:20-21

Ponder This

What does the phrase, “The stars from their courses fought against Sisera” mean? It means the fight was fixed. Sisera did not have a chance because God gave the victory. Sin can’t win and faith can’t fail. The whole Universe is against the person who is against God. All of creation is for God, and all of creation lives in submission to God and His created order.

Don’t ever get the idea that you can sin successfully. Don’t ever get the idea that you can trust in God in vain. God lined the stars up behind Barak. God lined the whole Universe behind him. Satan sails a sinking ship. Satan rules a doomed domain.

As the Psalmist says, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God” (Psalm 20:7). Believing this transforms how we see success. Success is finding out which way God is moving and joining Him. This changes the way we pursue our dreams and think about the future, and even the way we pray. We stop trying to see things from a perspective of primarily what we want and start to see things considering what He is doing. We go to Him for direction instead of finding our own way.

  • What does success look like through a God-honoring view?
  • How have you defined success in the past? How is that different from God’s perspective? What would it look like to pursue godly success in the future?

Practice This

Talk to God and ask Him to lead you in His success and direction.
