Judges 4:1-9

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 41:13 “For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.” (NLT)

The Judges: Othniel, Ehud, Shamgar, Deborah, Gideon, Tola, Jair, Jephthah, Ibzan, Elon, Abdon, and Samson.

“It’s not about being perfect or even being the most qualified. It’s about saying “yes” and moving forward in obedience.”

Deborah—Judges 4:4—A prophetess, a wife, and a judge

For twenty years after Ehud…..Baal & Ashtaroth worship.

Judges 4:12-13–Things are going from bad to worse.

Judges 4:14-15—God responds to prayers.

“Courage is not the absence of fear; it’s stepping forward in faith even when fear is present.”

Judges 5

#1—A poetic recounting of what God did.

#2—NO mention of anyone other than God.

#3—God is not limited by the season or by circumstances.

Judges 5:4-5, 21—God’s deliverance.

“True strength and security come from God alone, regardless of what battles we face.”
