096 Hold my Hand
A prophet, a wife, a judge. How does she juggles these different hats she is privileged to have on. Let's discover what she does with these different hats in our study today. We would be looking at Judges 4
In this study, the tools we would use for this study are
So let's dig in and turn the bible to Judges 4
How does it apply to me today?
Deborah’s versatility was evident. She had a home to take care of but that did not hinder her from carrying out the call of God on her life as a prophet in a difficult season for her nation. She also fulfilled her duties as a judge. She was top notch in performing her duties. SHe wore many hats. Today women too wear many hats. You and I have many hats that we wear. A home hat, a caesar hat, A christian hat etc etc. For as many hats that we may be privileged to wear, how well do we perform our duties in those hats. Are we carrying out our duties shabbily or mediocre or top notch?
Another lesson from Debrah in Judges chapter 4 is how she handles Barak’s request. Barak was saying I will obey God if you will go with me. She was ready to go with Barak to boost his faith and help him obey God. And she did not berate him. Barak had 10K men in his army to go against general Sisera’s army, which was Israel's oppressor’s army. This army had oppressed Israel for 20 years. The task was daunting.
Deborah walked the talk. She backed her belief in God’s instruction with her not being shy of going to the battle front. She was confident in God’s word. Her own reassurance of victory was in God. Which helped Barak’s faith in charging into the battle.
How well would we handle someone who does not have our level of faith or confidence? Would we ignore them, or berate them or hold their hand till their faith is built up?
1 Thessalonians 5:11
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
Deborah would not send Barak where she would not go herself. Those who in God's name call others to their duty, should be ready to assist and encourage them in it.
The question for us is that will you be willing to hold another’s hand till their faith is built up.
Thank you.
