SCRIPTURE
Judges 5: 2-9 Old Testament
The scripture cited above is Deborah's song that she sang. Who was Deborah? Deborah was a leader for the Israelites. She was a prophet, poet, judge, and military leader. She was the ONLY woman alongside Moses and Samuel in those capacities. She was called by God to deliver Israel from its perpetual enemies. She succeeded! Her war changed ancient history! She was strong, courageous, trusted, confident, humble, and a devout servant of God. One trait she also embodied and sang about was motherhood At this time in history it was a male dominant world, so it was very uncommon, even unaccepted for a female to be a prominent leader!
LESSON
God calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things. It doesn't matter your gender! Remember Philippians 4: 13 which says, "I can do all things through him who gives me strength!" Him is God .
