IMITATE THEIR FAITH/DEBORAH - "THE EARTH SHOOK, AND THE HEAVENS POURED"

 Barak went to muster his army.  He gathered 10,000 men who were brave enough to go up against Sisera's daunting forces. As Barak led his men up to Mount Tabor, he was glad to have  a way to boost their courage.  We read: "Deborah also went  up with him." ( Judges 4:10)  Imagine how  it lifted the spirits of those soldiers to see that brave woman join them in their march toward Mount Tabor, willing to risk her life at their side because  of her faith in Jehovah God!

When Sisera learned that Israel had dared to muster an army against him, he acted quickly . A number of Canaanite kings joined forces with King Jabin, who have have been the most powerful among them. Then Sisera's great squadrons  of chariots mad the earth shake as  the rumbled  in formation across the plain.  The Canaanites were sure that  they would make quick work of  the pathetic army of Israel. - JUDGES 4:12, 13, 13:5, 19.
