IMITATE THER FAITH/DEBORAH -"THE MOST BLESSED OF WOMEN"

 Later Barak  came in search of his quarry. When Jael showed him the corpse with the tent pin through the temples, he knew that Deborah's prophecy had come true.  A woman had killed the mighty warrior Sisera!  Modern-day critics and skeptics have called Jael all manner of vile names, but Barak and Deborah knew better.  In their son, they were inspired to praise to Jael as "most blessed of women" for her courageous deed.  (Judges 4:22; 5:24) Note the generosity of Deborah's spirit. She did begrudge Jael such praise; rather she cared only that Jehovah's word had come true.

With Sisera gone, King Jabin's power was broken/  The Canaanite  oppression was over at last.  Peace prevailed for 40 years. (Judges 4:24; 5:31)  How blessed was Deborah, Barak, and Jael for putting faith in Jehovah God!  If we imitate the faith of Deborah, boldling taking our stand for Jehovah and encouraging others to do the same, Jehovah will bless us with victories-and lasting peac.
