We get our introduction to Deborah, a female prophet and judge who co-ruled with Barak during this time. He was more the "spiritual" than she was and he ruled the tribe of Naphtali at the same time. She needed help and had her people contact him to join forces against a common enemy. He wouldn't go into battle unless she was along side of him and thus she got the credit for the victory rather than him. He trusted in God but not in his own abilities which seemed odd since his "power" came from God. Nevertheless, they both conquered Sisera but she got the credit.
So far it has been a decent week. Got a gift card as a thank-you from work for coming in on Sandy and that was welcomed. Muddling through the week and will head home later. FW tonight and then some clean-up and gift wrapping on Saturday as well as making dinner. Looking forward to seeing the whole family on late Saturday night and then off to church on Sunday. Going to see a Nets/76ers game on Sunday and then working out of Princeton on Monday. Nice to have off on Wednesday and leisurely head back to Delly.
Praise for today: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests. Luke 2:14
