Deborah and Barak: Awakened for Action!
Judges 4 and 5 During a desperate time in Israel, God awakened Deborah and Barak to see that the only way the nation could escape the stifling tyranny of the Canaanite King Jabin was to meet his superior forces in battle. On the surface, it appeared to be a substantial mismatch... but only if the power of God was left out of consideration. Instead, God not only motivated Deborah and Barak to attempt the impossible, He raised up the people to fight, and opened up the heavens to pour out the rain, and the battle was won. Every time we read about a Judge/Deliverer we remember that our deliverance was accomplished only as God sent His Son/Deliverer to appease God's wrath, overcoming the forces of sin that held us fast.
