In Judges 4: 1-24, we see the Israelites drifting back to sin soon after the death of persons appointed by God to deliver them. From this, we learn that our loyalty to God should not be based on personalities. But what was God's reaction to the evil tendencies of the Israelites? He is a loving Father and for that reason, He disciplined them by allowing them to fall into the hands of evil kings (Heb. Heb. 12: 5-6). At the same time, God is merciful and hears our prayers when we cry out to Him in times of need. However, we should never take His mercy for granted. God is also sovereign and His choice of intstruments and His methods of deliverance are incomparable to none other. In today's passage, His choice was a courageous prophetess Deborah, a cowardly Barak and a cunning Jael. Are you ready and willing to be used of Him? Remember that the battle belongs to Him. Confidence in Him will scatter our fears. His divine presence guarantees us safety and security. |

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God - 1Thessalonians 4:3-5 |

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows - 1Timothy 6:10. |
