Jdg 4:14 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him. Jdg 4:15 And the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.
Jabin , the king of Canaan had nine hundred chariots of iron and for twenty years , he had harshly oppressed the children of Israel. As God’s appointed representative, Deborah ,the prophetess called on Barak to take the lead in the battle. She also gave him God’s plan for the battle and even accompanied him ( Jdg 4:6,7).
And Barak went down to face Sisera the commander of Jabin’s army . With him were ten thousand men. And the Lord routed Sisera and all his chariots and army by the sword. Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot. The Lord went out before them and gave them massive victory.
When Israel’s back was against the wall, Deborah believed and trusted God for victory. She believed that victory was already hers through God. What do you do when you get overwhelmed and you want to quit? Don’t lose hope! The Lord has already gone ahead of you to fight your battles.
