We all know the story of Deborah, the fearless prophet and leader of Israel but do we take the time to study the story of Jael. God chose a woman, in a culture where women had no value, to have the honor of taking down the commander of the Canaanites. A woman willing to break three cultural norms in order to be obedient to God. A woman that cared more about fulfilling God's will than looking out for herself. Jael, a woman called "most blessed of women" (Judges 4:24), is an example to all of us on how to be obedient when God calls us.
