Scripture Union Daily Guide 20th May 2025 Outline
Notice how long it took the Israelites to recognize and acknowledge that their woes were a function of God’s punishment (Judges 4:3). Sin, rebellion, and disobedience attract punishment, while genuine repentance attracts God’s mercy and deliverance. What opportunity did Deborah give Barak (Judges 4:6-7) and how did Barak respond (Judges 4:8)? There are many times that we are given opportunities to serve, to lead or to take responsibility in a lead role.
How have you responded to such or similar opportunities in the past? Nonetheless, we see a beautiful display of teamwork and responsibility between Deborah and Barak, each needing the other’s gifts, skills and input. God uses both men and women to accomplish His work and mission. And in this specific situation, God used women – Deborah and Jael – as well as men – Barak and the ten-thousand strong troop to deliver the Israelites from king Jabin’s oppression. Do not let anybody look down on you because you are a woman (Judges 4:21-22).
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
