Our God sees you bigger, bolder, and braver than you are. Of course, you have misses, messes, and missteps. You’ll continue to have them (gulp). But the God of the Prophetess Deborah is the same God you have. In the story found in Judges 5 and 6, Israel’s little army faces an enemy too big to defeat. Israel’s general, Barak, is too frightened to trust God’s word, God’s deliverance. Deborah, however, remembers God’s power and faithfulness. Because Deborah listens to and obeys God’s commands, Israel is freed from slavery.
APPLICATION: Free yourself from fear. And yes, that’s what it is. Fear. How? Do a Deborah. Trust in God’s power and faithfulness. Obey God’s commands. And any misses, messes or missteps that come your way? Eh. God will take care of those, too.
