Introduction
Today’s reading is known as the Song of Deborah and Barak. It is a song praising God for defeating Jabin and the Canaanite army. In poetic form, it provides details about the battle and Israel’s victory.
Today’s Scripture: Judges 5:5
The mountains quaked before the LORD of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.
Today’s Reading
Judges 5:1-31
Reflect
Today’s reading is a victory hymn that is believed to be one of the oldest Old Testament texts. What details about the battle and victory are recounted in this song? What verses attest to the power of Israel’s God? Verses 28-30 describe how the mother of Sisera (the commander of the Canaanite army) is waiting for her son to return from battle. What is she worried about? How do her friends seek to reassure her? Do you know anyone who has a loved one serving in the armed forces? If so, in what ways can you be a source of support for them?
Pray
I sing your praises, Lord God! You are powerful and victorious, and I thank you for your steadfast love and faithfulness. Amen.

Military families
Tomorrow’s Reading
