Today’s devotional is titled:
Gratitude Through Deborah’s Leadership
“At that time Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel.”
📖 Judges 4:4
Deborah is a unique woman in Israel’s history. She was not only a prophetess, but also a courageous leader in the middle of a difficult situation. When Israel was oppressed by Sisera, Deborah did not remain silent. She obeyed God’s call to lead, even though that role was usually held by men. From Deborah, we learn that gratitude can be expressed through faithfulness in walking out God’s calling—whatever form it takes.
Deborah’s obedience is clearly seen in the way she strengthened Barak to go into battle. She believed that victory did not come from human strength, but from God who is faithful. This shows that gratitude is not just words, but also the courage to step into God’s will, even when it involves risk.
In our lives, we may not lead an army like Deborah did. But we can imitate her faithfulness by boldly taking on responsibility, staying obedient even when we feel weak, and trusting that God is the One who gives strength. True gratitude appears when we say, “Lord, I want to be faithful to Your calling, even when I feel like I’m not enough.”
In the end, Deborah’s leadership brought Israel victory and relief. This means that when we remain obedient and faithful, God can use our lives to bring blessing to many people. Gratitude expressed through faithfulness will always produce beautiful fruit.
What to Do:
1. Don’t hesitate to take on the responsibility God entrusts to you, no matter how small it is.
2. Practice the courage to obey, even when the situation feels challenging.
3. Remember: true gratitude is being faithful to God’s calling, not just speaking sweet words.
