Judges 5:1-3 (ASV)
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying, “For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, For that the people offered themselves willingly, Bless ye Jehovah. Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto Jehovah; I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel.”
A Theme to Remember:
In the Old Testament Deborah is the only woman who was given the title “prophet.” These words are the opening verses of this great woman’s extended song of praise for the mighty works God had performed on behalf of Israel and the victory He had granted the people over their enemies. Recognizing and glorifying God’s intervention and faithfulness are essential parts of a life dedicated to His service.
Words to Remember:
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honor, praise, and glory given
By all on earth, and all in heaven.
–Isaac Watts, Doxology
