Remember that 1980s commercial about a woman who brings home the bacon and fries it up in a pan? She was all that and then some. It was like she had some secret way of being the “it” girl for everyone who needed her. Deborah was one of those women.
She was married, led Israel and was a much sought after prophet for her wisdom and guidance. She was able to do these things and immeasurably more because of her relationship with God. She knew Him and spent time in prayer. When others sought her opinion, Deborah listened and waited for God to speak to her. Her servant’s heart was in the right place, and she ruled from a place of Godly wisdom.
Deborah’s influence was so great over rulers and army leaders, one of the commanders who sought her wisdom wouldn’t move forward with his troops unless she came with him. Despite all the accolades and opportunities, her first dedication was always to God.
When our relationship with Him comes first, before everything else in life, we learn to hear God loud and clear. His voice rises above the noise of others and drowns out confusion and chaos. The more you listen to Him, the more He’ll prepare you for whatever work lies ahead.
