Soul F2S Woman / January 2023 ~~~~[Deborah]~~~~~~~~
Deborah was a Prophetess, Wife, and Judge. The Children of Israel had sinned against God and greatly displeased Him. Deborah served as a Judge to the people of Israel. A significant part of Deborah's journey as a Judge was when she called forth one of the Military leaders named Barak. Barak was instructed by God to prepare for war and gather his men, yet he made not attempts to do as instructed. Like many of us Barak would rather wait to receive a "word of confirmation" from the prophetess than trust God and swiftly move in obedience.
Deborah was used to call him forth in judgment to ask him the question he already knew the answer to but failed to respond. She asked him, [Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand. And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, went with Barak to Kadesh.] {Judges 4:6-9}
I would say that Deborah's frustration may have been with Barak because of his lack of faith in Gods command. He trusted her judgement to adhere to her call; however, he did not have faith to trust the words of God from her regarding his victory. So, he challenged her to accompany him because he desired the mercy of God. Deborah trusted God and agreed to his challenge but swiftly informed him that unlike her previous statement of the army being delivered into his hands; she informed him that the Lord would defeat Sisera through the hands of a woman. Her transition to sophistication in this aspect would be her victorious prophesy coming to pass as spoken.
