So..our youth is having a Bible character dress up for halloween this Saturday. At first, I wanted to go as King David, the boy who slayed Goliath because he's just very mighty. He's strong, courageous, smart, and above all, he loves God. I have the whole King David Outfit thought up of in my head but then after re-deciding about it, I won't be King David.  Intstead I am going to go as Deborah...the prophetess. The story of Deborah is found in the Judges Chapters 4-5. After 20 years of oppression, God told Deborah that it was time to deliver the people once again. She appointed Barak to lead the army, but he was afraid to go without Deborah. She had deep faith in God.  She united the people of Israel and lead them to victory against the Canaanites. Amazing right?  In a way, she was just like King David, except she was a woman.
Amazing how God works. He uses the most unexpected person, someone whom we would never had expected, to bring Glory to His name. Jesus Christ, Son of God, is also another living example to that :)

Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time. Judge 4:4
