Barak and his men were not troubled by the storm. They knew where it was coming from. They ran right at the Canaanite forces. Acting as God's executioners, the Israelites left none of Sisera's army alive. The Kishon River surged and flooded, washing the corpses downstream toward the Great Sea. - JUDGES 4:16; 5:21.
Today, Jehovah no longer sends his servants into physical battles. Yet, he does ask his people to engage in spiritual warfare. (Matthew 26:52; 2 Corinthians 10:4) If we try to obey God in today's world, we are taking our stand in that war. We need courage, for those who side with God today may face fierce opposition. But Jehovah hasn't changed. He still comes to the defense of those who, like Deborah, Barak and those brave soldiers of ancient Israel, put their faith and trust in Him.
