Sisera was like a bad penny that would turn up and was not content with defeat. Licking his wounds and thinking that the armies he had were sufficient and were prepared with the new iron chariots, he decided to go against Barak. Deborah, the judge/prophetess told Barak that the Lord will give Sisera and his armies to him and he should go and attack Sisera. God made the rain come down so hard that the chariots couldn't move and were useless against Barak's army who easily defeated them. Sisera, took refuge in Jael's tent who was the wife of Heber the Kenite. She duped into a false sense of security and then proceeded to drive a peg through his head to kill him. She showed Barak his corpse when he arrived. The chapter ends with the decline of the Canaanites in front of the Israelites according to the will of God and the defeat of Jabin.
Glad that the Christmas thing at my house was over and was pretty successful. Daniel came home and then left and got back to Denver successfully yesterday. The house was restored pretty much and will finish it off on the weekend. Sooo glad to have Monday off! Very happy to see so many people that I rarely see and have made new friends to boot! Prayers for Irene as she is gone until next week and for GG as he returns on Monday for a few days off. Keeping Hei and Kevin in my prayers as they bury her grandfather this weekend.
Praise for today: But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me. Ps. 12: 5-6.
