Deborah and Jael

So the question was posed....If you could pick your personality from all the people in the bible, excluding Jesus, who would you want to be like?

Well, after careful consideration I have decided I would like to be Deborah and Jael. You can read the story in Judges. They were both women that were fearless!
Deborah was a homemaker and an ordinary woman but she was extremely devoted to God. People would come to her for counsel and direction in their everyday lives. She had enthusiasm and faith that kindled the people around her. She believed God for big things, she inspired people around her to believe God and she enabled people to act quickly and radically for God. When people were panicking around her she was able to lead them to victory! Religious zeal and patriotism could sum her up. When her leadership faltered, she was able to rise up and be the deliverer.
She was able to speak to her leadership positively even when she was let down and encourage him to "GO"!
She ended up leading a war and her spiritual insight was all she leaned on! They where up against the impossible. God used nature and the elements of the earth to bring her victory!
She believed that if people just put their hope in God and honor Him that He would deliver them and lead them to victory. Even when the people around her had a lack of vision or faith...her faith was able to carry them!
In Judges 4:9 she showed that she was a prophet as well. She said that a woman would win the war. That is when Jael comes into the picture, another woman. She was in a tent that the enemy fled into. She acted hospitable and let the enemy come in and she served him milk. When he relaxed and fell asleep she drove a metal peg through  his temple....killing the enemy! As you can see, she was strong, coarse, hard and very courageous! She wasn't fragile and scared, she wasn't waiting for a deliverer,she rose to the occasion and became the deliverer.

Two woman that showed Gods power and might!

1st a homemaker
2nd a counselor
3rd a warrior
4th a prophet

There are many many woman in the bible....they love God and are used by God in mighty ways!
