Women of Faith
Deborah
Judge and Prophetess
Courageous Leadership
Scripture (NIV)
“Has not the Lord gone ahead of you?”
Message
Deborah led when others hesitated, and she went with them into the risk. Leadership is going first, not standing back.
Practice
Take responsibility for one thing today that you have been waiting for someone else to handle.
Prayer
Lord, give me the nerve to step forward when it is mine to lead. Amen.
Lived out
Short practices that fit Deborah's virtue of courageous leadership.
A practice to try
A pause at every doorway
“I started touching the doorframe on the way into a room, my kid's bedroom, the office, the hospital ward, and saying under my breath, 'Go in ahead of me.' It takes a second. It changed how I walk into hard rooms, because I stopped arriving alone.”
TRY TODAY
Pick one doorway you go through often today and pray those four words before you enter.
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)
