Jael, in Judges 4, was a woman who was at home in her tent while the men of Israel were out fighting a battle against Sisera, the commander of the Canaanite army. God had promised to deliver Sisera into the hands of Barak, the leader of the Israelite army, but because of his unbelief, God delivered him instead into the hands of a woman. That woman was Jael. Jael was at home minding the house when, out of nowhere, Sisera arrives on foot to the door of her tent. She lured him into her tent to rest. But Jael, Hebers wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died, (Judges 4:21). Jael was probably the last one that Barak considered would win the battle for Israel that day, but God chose her for that very reason. God was sending us a message: We cannot limit Him! He refuses to be put in a box! Tell Him He cant do something and that is just what He will do. Give Him a desert and Hell make a forest. Give Him a servant girl and Hell make her a princess. Give Him a housewife and Hell make her a warrior. Give Him your barrenness and Hell make for you a great nation. So that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the Lord has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it, (Isaiah 41:20). This is Gods heart concerning us. He sees beyond our weaknesses and sees a mighty warrior. He calls those things that are not, as though they were. If you feel discarded by life, then rejoice, because God is looking for you! You are a perfect fit for His purpose. Victoria Boyson-Ministries victoriaboyson Victoria Boyson Ministries © 2003-2015
