Judges 4:17
SISERA FLED ON FOOT TO THE TENT OF JAEL
Two men had greatly underestimated two women.
Barak had underestimated Deborah and Sisera had fatally underestimated Jael! When you run away from a battle; when you run away from your responsibilities; when you run away from the consequences of your actions; when you try and hide from God, watch out! It can be a real case of "out of the frying pan and into the fire!"
Jael "was only a tent dwelling woman" - chapter 5:24. How could she turn the course of a battle; what could she do that was worth recording for history? She was "only" a tent dwelling woman!
BUT God made all the difference! He made all the difference, because she was evidently 'tuned in' to what He wanted. She had made herself available. Yes, she had made not only herself available but her 'home' too! She won the battle 'in her home!' Yes, she knew who the 'enemy' was. She even invited him in. She even gave him more than he asked for in refreshment. But she also gave him more than he bargained for too! "A tent peg right through the temple!"
What gave her the courage? What gave her the determination? What gave her the gracious welcoming spirit? God did. She was part of His plan. Like Paul, like you, like me ... she was "one of the foolish ... God uses to confound the wise."
Do you seek greatness? Seek it not. Do you want to be used of God? Then make yourself available! Don't speculate the time, the place, the circumstances, or the reward. But rather seek the face of God. Go on your knees in the solitary place and there receive your instructions. Not before kings or judges, not before congregations or men, but go into 'your tent' and there quietly, humbly, seek the face of the Almighty God and offer yourself in His Service.
Do it now, and today can be totally different and incredibly significant for the Kingdom of God.
Beware, He may take your prayer seriously!
