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 o 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 tha 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 dared to muster and army against him, he acted quickly. A number of Canaanite kings joined with King Jabin, who may have been the most powerful among them. Then Sisera's great squadrons of chariots made the earth shake as they rumbled in formation across the plain. The Canaanites were sure that they would make quick work of the pathetic army of Israel. -JUDGES4:12, 13; 5:19.
