the people sank again into idolatry but we know that shamgar succeeded ephud to the judgement so the decline may have begun in his days verse 2 the lord sold them in the divine overnment disaster always follows disobedience god will not protect his people if will fully sinning from their enemies when men refuse allegiance to his authority they must learn by bitter experience the hard bondage of sin verse 3 israel ried unto the lord in realized helplessness they turned back to the only one who could deliver them the forces of jabin were mighty but israel cried to the almighty and their suppli cation was heard verse 4 deborah a prophet- tress a woman had already been raised up by god who was to be the chosen instrument to free his people from the gentile oppressor it was a most unusual circumstance for a woman to be in such a posi tion ibut in emergencies the lord can and often does bvenyule all precedents verse 5 under the palm tree out in the open deborah held her court and to her the people came everything electric rangettes hot plates fans toasters made by the most reliable makers all popular prices if you want a heavy duty range take advantage of the stouffville

of galilee by the waters of merom barak by name who had been strangely in active until the call came through the woman judge to lead the armies of nayhtali and zebulum agains the oppressor of israel verse 7 i will draw unto thea sisera it was god who was speaking through his handmaiden he would cause sisera and his host to join battle with baraks army at the little river kishon near the foot of mount csrmel and he promised victory to israel verse 8 if baraks faith was at low ebb he agrees to go only if deborah accompany him other wi3ehe refuses to move how strik ing the contrast between his weak ness and deborahs strength verse 9 i will surely go with thee nothing daunted doborab agrees to go liut assures barak the glory of the promised victory will not be his but the lord shall sell sisera into the hand of a woman with prophetic foresight she al ready sees jael the wife of heber the kenite coming into the picture verse 12 gone up to mount tabor it was there that borak mobolized his army thus notice thai he was about to strike a blow for the liberty of israel sisera learned of it almost immediately and the stage was soon set for the conflict verse 13 sisera gathered to gether all his chariots from all the region immediately north ot palestine the king of hazor which was just over the border from nap- htali gathered together his armed hosts intending at one fell fell stroke to destroy the much smaller armyof israel according to deb orahs word they encamped by the river kishon verse 14 this is the day en couraged by deborah barak and his ten thousand took the initiative attacking sisera unexpectedly the verses that follow give the amaking result the great gentile host was utterly discomfited and sisera him self slain by jael when against all oriental jrules of propriety he sought refuge in the tent of a woman once more god had demon strated his care for israel and his ajbility to use the weak to confound the mighty deborah though by her place in nature apparently unfitted to be a military leader was suitable instrument for gods purp ose because she was yielded to his will the heart of the lesson a faithful woman who knew god and dared to risk all upon his word meant more to israel in this time of crisis than all else beside god ever delights to houor faith he can be depended upon never to fail those who put their confidence in him we today are not as christ ians called to conflict with the armies of flesh and blood our war fare is with the unseen satanic hosts and the worldly spirit of the age but it is still true that we con quer our foes as we resist them in the spirit of deborah faith in the living god among the overcomers there are many heroines as well as heroes who have had the courage to attack entrenched evil of all kinds with the courage of a de borah manay a fltering barak too has been roused to valiant service toy the encouragement of some de voted woman who knew the mind of god and was unafraid in the face of gravest
