Deborah was a prophet and judge over Israel. She was married, and perhaps had children, yet she found a healthy balance between her focus on her family and her role as a prophet. As Pastor Ed points out in today’s message, this is no simple feat. Many of us struggle with finding that balance. Sometimes we use our families as an excuse to get out of ministry. Or maybe we use our ministry as an excuse to avoid our family responsibilities. We need to seek a healthy balance between the two.
