This is Women’s Month and today we stop to honor Deborah for her part in the overthrow of foreign governments that sought to undermine Israel. She trained the men, she followed them into battle and she honored Jael who singlehanded killed an evil enemy when Barak refused to go into battle without her. The story of Jael’s craftiness is worthy of our read today. She was a modern day MI6 warrior that craftily lured the enemy Sisera into a tent where she offered a drink of milk after which he laid down into a slumber. Then Jael hammered a tent peg into his skull. Deborah said a woman would be given the honor and Jael was that woman.
You never know when God will call upon you to serve Him in extraordinary ways just as we see here in the life of Jael.
Where is God calling you to serve in extraordinary capacities? Are you ready?
