“When the princes in Israel take the lead, when the people willingly offer themselves—praise the LORD!
“Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the LORD, I will sing; I will make music to the LORD, the God of Israel.
“O LORD, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water.
The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel - Judges 5:2-5 NIV
When the princes take the lead, when those in charge seek the Lord and the people follow, it is a glorious thing. It is something to praise the Lord about. Praise God when our leaders seek him. Praise God when the young men follow after him. Praise God when the elderly look to him. Praise God when children sing of his faithfulness.
Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! There is nothing that can make the mountains shake like the power of the people praising God. Circumstances change when the leaders and then the people offer themselves totally up to the Lord, the God of Israel!
