This recounts Israel’s victory over the Canaanites. Notable points include:
- God is the mighty warrior who has helped His people in the past.
- Israel’s failed leadership results in chaos and foreign domination.
- Their idolatry brings additional suffering.
- God fights for them again. Even the heavens fight on their behalf!
- Deborah, Barak, and Jael are hailed as heroes.
- The song ends with a call for God’s enemies to perish and His good will to rest on His servants.
- The land rests for 40 years.
Thought for the day: We should always praise God for His work on our behalf. Especially our salvation!
Psalm 95:1-2 (WEB) “Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation! Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!”
