Judge Deborah
In the book of Judges, chapters 4 and 5, we read about one of the most influential women of the Bible. Deborah was a prophet and could hear God’s voice and then share God’s Word. She is the only woman who was a prophet and a judge. Judges in ancient Israel were leaders raised up by God to deliver the people from oppression and to administer justice. Deborah became a judge in Israel at a time when the nation faced oppression from the Canaanites. God allowed this because of their disobedience.
Deborah was known for her wisdom and was a woman of faith. She was bold, a powerful encourager, confident and she had a heart for the Israelite leaders and those who followed God. Deborah was not only a prophet and judge but also a warrior and leader of the Israelites as she went off to battle and was victorious over the Canaanites.
The traits that stand out in Deborah that we can apply to our lives
1. Be Obedient – Deborah listened to what God called her to do and she followed His plans for her.
2. Be Courageous – “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called”.
3. Stand True – We need to remember that God is guiding us, even when we are in a crisis. Deborah was so faithful to God.
A shining example for us
Judges 5:31 “Thus let all Your enemies perish, O LORD! But let those who love Him be like the sun when it comes out in full strength.” A proclamation at the end of the song—“the land had rest for forty years” (verse 31)—is a testament to the life of Deborah. How much faith and commitment do we have in serving God as she did?
