May 10
Introduction
After the death of Ehud, the Israelites once again disobey God and are punished by being conquered by the Canaanites. God chooses a female prophet, Deborah, to serve as judge, and she is instructed to command Barak to lead the people in battle against Jabin of Hazor, the Canaanite king who oppresses the Israelites cruelly.
Today’s Scripture: Judges 4:14a
Then Deborah said to Barak, “Go! The LORD is leading you!”
Today’s Reading
Judges 4:1-24
Reflect
Why does Barak want Deborah to go with him? What does his request indicate to you about Deborah? Deborah tells Barak that he will not get credit for the victory because the LORD will hand the commander of the Canaanite army, Sisera, over to a woman. How does this come about? How would you characterize Deborah and Jael?
Pray
Almighty God, lead me each day and guide me in the ways of your truth. I place my trust in you, knowing you are with me always. Amen.
Prayer Concern

Tomorrow’s Reading
