Deborah - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Deborah - Her Legacy Of Prayer

Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the LORD, I will sing; I will make music to the LORD, the God of Israel.

— Judges 5:3

REFLECT ON:	Judges 4.
PRAISE GOD:	For speaking clearly to his people.
OFFER THANKS:	That God gives prophets to the church, women as well as men.
CONFESS:	Anything that makes you reluctant to listen for God’s voice.
ASK GOD:	To help you discern his voice.

Lift Your Heart

It’s difficult, even unpleasant, to listen to two pieces of music at once. Likewise, it’s hard to listen to God’s voice at the same time you are listening to voices of confusion, discouragement, and condemnation. Deborah’s peace and confidence as a leader stemmed in part from her ability to hear God clearly. This week ask the Holy Spirit to help you distinguish God’s voice from all the background noise. Ask for grace to discipline your thoughts in order to hear God better. As you pray, put on some quiet background music to remind you to tune in to the one Voice worth listening to.

Lord, I want to hear your voice. Help me to recognize and resist all the phony voices that masquerade as yours. Help me to distinguish yours from all the others. Make me a woman who both listens and speaks your Word.
