Deborah the Brave

Fish Bytes for Kids: Bible Stories, Christian Parodies & More

The children of Israel were being oppressed by their enemies but Deborah did not ask, “How much longer before God delivers us?” Instead, her approach was, “How much longer before we stand up and fight—with God on our side?” “Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophet who was judging Israel at that time. She would sit under the Palm of Deborah, between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites would go to her for judgment. One day she sent for Barak son of Abinoam, who lived in Kedesh in the land of Naphtali. She said to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: Call out 10,000 warriors from the tribes of Naphtali and Zebulun at Mount Tabor. And I will call out Sisera, commander of Jabin’s army, along with his chariots and warriors, to the Kishon River. There I will give you victory over him.” Barak told her, “I will go, but only if you go with me.”” Judges 4:4-8 NLT #kids, #christiankids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #storiesforchristiankids, #biblestoriesforkids, #biblelessonsforkids, #godisonourside, #standandseethesalvationofgod, #godisgood, #peacewithgod, #praiseispowerful, #praise, #bestrongandcourageous, #godiswithus, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbitesforkids, #fishbites4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb
