THERE AROSE A MOTHER

Scripture Reading

THERE AROSE A MOTHER

SETTING A STAGE FOR A FIERY WOMAN

Lapidoth (lapiydot) – torch or lightning

Judges 4:1-3 (NIV)
1. “Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD.”
2. “So the LORD sold them into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan.”
3. “He cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the LORD for help.”

Verse 7
“Villagers in Israel would not fight; they held back until I, Deborah, arose,
until I arose, a mother in Israel.”

During a national crisis, Deborah arose, not as a prophetess, not as a judge,
but as a mother!

Verse 4
“Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.”

Lapidoth (lapiydot) – torch or lightning

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ROAD

Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)
13. “For broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.”
14. “But narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Judges 4:8 (NIV)
Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.”

Barak (baraq) – lightning flash

“But narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

The Canaanites will try and make our kids one of “the many,” but mamma will fight to insure they are one of “the few”!

THE SPIRIT OF MOTHERHOOD

Judges 5:7 (MSG)
“Warriors became fat and sloppy, no fight left in them. Then you, Deborah, rose up; you got up, a mother in Israel.”

WHY MOTHERS ARE NEEDED IN 2024

Judges 5:31 (NIV)
“So may all your enemies perish, LORD! But may all who love you be like the sun
when it rises in its strength. Then the land had peace forty years.”

Hosea 13:8
“Like a bear whose cubs have been taken away, I will tear out your heart. I will devour you like a hungry lioness and mangle you like a wild animal.”

IN 2024 WE NEED A REVIVING OF THE SPIRIT OF MOTHERHOOD!

The Spirit of Motherhood in America

Judges 4:21 (NIV)
“But Jael, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.”

Titus 2:3-4
Older women teach the young women.
