Deborah - Her Promise

Deborah - Her Promise

Godly Deborah has been an encouragement to women throughout the centuries. When women feel confined or mistreated, when they are unsure of what is right or which way to proceed, when they are entering unknown territory, when they feel overlooked or ignored — they gain stability and help from remembering Deborah.

Whatever Deborah had is available to you today. Her wisdom is discovered in the Scriptures. Her confidence in God is found in a relationship with him. Her bravery is achievable when you put your trust in God and his promises. Her inner strength and calm leadership are characteristic of confidence not in herself but in her God. All Deborah offered to Israel she offers to you as an example of a woman willing to be used by God.

Promises in Scripture

Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel.

— Judges 5:7

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

— Psalm 20:7

Who among you fears the LORD
and obeys the word of his servant?

Let those who walk in the dark,
who have no light,

trust in the name of the LORD
and rely on their God.

— Isaiah 50:10
