A Word to the Jaels – God’s Courageous Women
Anne Ballard shares a timely and encouraging word, on courage. She takes the example of Jael from the Bible and applies to modern day.
Excerpt:
Jael was a courageous woman whose boldness and decisive action won a significant victory for Israel. Her story is a powerful testament that God loves to use the weak things of the world to shame the wise. God is raising up Jaels—courageous women willing to confront their enemies and step into the things of God.
God loves to use those who are willing to accomplish His purposes on the earth—especially the most unlikely candidates. Jael was one such unlikely candidate. To understand the significance of Jael’s story, we have to understand the unique time in Israel’s history in which she appeared and why her victory is so shocking.
