What does courage look like when the odds are stacked against us? Deborah didn’t just speak God’s truth—she lived it. Called to leadership in a time when few women held public authority, she stood firm in her calling. Beside her was Barak, hesitant and unsure. But Deborah moved forward, not in her strength but in God’s promise. And just as she prophesied, the victory didn’t come from brute force—it came through a woman named Jael, acting with quiet bravery. Today, many of us feel the pull of fear or self-doubt when God calls us to something bigger than ourselves. But this passage reminds us that bold obedience isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting the One who does. When we walk forward in faith, even if it’s shaky, God shows up in powerful ways. You may not be called to a battlefield, but you are called to trust—and that trust is the beginning of victory.
