This lesson from Judges 4–5, titled “Hooray for the Housewives,” highlights God’s unexpected use of two courageous women—Deborah and Jael—to deliver Israel during a time of rebellion and oppression. While Israel suffers under Jabin’s rule and Sisera’s iron chariots, God raises up Deborah, a prophetess and judge, to lead with wisdom and courage. Though Barak hesitates, Deborah steps forward, and together they inspire 10,000 volunteers to fight bravely. God miraculously defeats the enemy through a flood, and Jael finishes the battle by taking down Sisera. The lesson emphasizes bold obedience, trusting God without full explanation, and giving Him all the glory—even when He delivers through the most unlikely heroes.
