“….for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kadesh” Judges 4:9b.
Deborah needed Barak to lead the army to battle. Sisera’s army was well-equipped in comparison to the motley crew of Barak and Deborah. In defence of Barak, he probably had a right to be scared. However, telling Deborah he wouldn’t lead without her wasn’t very valiant.
Deborah told Barak she’d go with him, but, when all was said and done, he wasn’t going to get any glory. Deborah confidently shared a prophecy found in our Scripture today. As much as we salute Deborah for her courage, she will not be the woman in her prophecy. Stay tuned to find out just who that woman will be.
