women of the Bible: Deborah

women of the Bible: Deborah by ric Gustafson


Around 1200 BC, the Israelites were under the thumb of Jabin the king of Canaan. Jabin's Commander was Sisera. He and his army wreaked havoc on the Israelites for two decades. The people needed someone to take on Jabin and Sisera.
That person sent by God was a prophet and judge named Deborah. She asked Barak to gather 10,000 soldiers to defeat the Canaanites. He said he would as long as she went also. She agreed. When the battle was done, not one of Sisera's army was still alive. Sisera was killed by Jael.
I pray that I can use the gifts that God has given me to benefit his Kingdom.
