Deborah was one of Israel’s judges. Her leadership and strength of character caused many to come to her for judgement. Barak would only go to war if she went with him. She composed a song which is recorded in chapter 5 of Judges. She was a mighty woman used by God.

We read of another key woman in this chapter … Jael. She offered Sisera, the military leader of a strong Canaanite enemy army, refuge as he retreated from battle. While he was sleeping, she ran a tent peg through his temple.

PRAYER: Father, let Your Spirit rise mightily in the lives of women to do great exploits for Your Kingdom.
