Ärende: A Woman's War

A Woman's War 

"The LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman" (Judges 4:9). 

Rather an unusual text, but there may be souls in the world that may have faith
enough to grasp it. Barak, the man, though called to the war, had little
stomach for the fight unless Deborah would go with him, and so the LORD
determined to make it a woman's war. By this means He rebuked the slackness of
the man, gained for Himself the more renown, and cast the more shame upon the
enemies of His people. 

The LORD can still use feeble instrumentality's. Why not me? He may use persons
who are not commonly called to great public engagements. Why not you? The woman
who slew the enemy of Israel was no Amazon but a wife who tarried in her tent.
She was no orator but a woman who milked the cows and made butter. May not the
LORD use any one of us to accomplish His purpose? Somebody may come to the
house today, even as Sisera came to Jael's tent. Be it ours not to slay him,
but to save him. Let us receive him with great kindness and then bring forth
the blessed truth of salvation by the LORD Jesus, our great Substitute, and
press home the command "Believe and live." Who knoweth but some stout-hearted
sinner may be slain by the gospel today!

The Death and Excellency of Christ. Isa. 13. 12 




1 The things on earth which men esteem,  And of their richness boast, 
In value less or greater seem, 
Proportioned to their cost. 

2 [The diamond, that’s for thousands sold,  Our admiration draws; 
For dust men seldom part with gold,  Or barter pearls for straws.] 

3 Then what inestimable worth 
Must in those crowns appear, 
For which the Lord came down to earth,  And bought for us, so dear! 

4 The Father dearly loves the Son,  And rates his merits high; 
For no mean cause he sent him down  To suffer, grieve, and die. 

5 The blessings from his death that flow,  So little we esteem, 
Only because we slightly know, 
And meanly value him. 

6 [’Twas our Creator for us bled, 
The Lord of life and power; 
Whom angels worship, devils dread –  God blest for evermore.] 

7 O could we but with clearer eyes  His excellencies trace, 
Could we his person learn to prize,  We more should prize his grace.
