BE DOERS, NOT JUST HEARERS (Practical Application):

  1. When something had to be done, Deborah didn’t moan and complain about how much she was doing, she sought the Lord’s leading and then followed Him, no questions asked. In what ways is the Lord asking you to step up, in your family, in your church, in your community? Write down what you feel he is leading you to, and then make a bold step to follow Him.
  2. Read Psalm 47:8, which reminds us that no matter who sits on any earthly throne, only One truly reigns. How does that knowledge comfort you in light of what is going on in your life?
  3. Beginning to end, Deborah was God’s woman. If the Lord has called you to lead others, consider taking Deborah’s motto as your own: “March on, my soul; be strong!” (Judges 5:21). Write it somewhere that you’ll see every day as a reminder of your calling.
