She was resourceful and made the most of the opportunity presented to her (Ephesians 5:16) to aid the LORD’s people (much like Rahab in Joshua 2)." "In the song of Deborah (Judges 5), Deborah describes herself as having risen “as a mother” to all Israel. This is important to highlight, as it indicates that in Deborah’s leadership, she did not resort to competing with or mimicking her male counterparts, rather, she leant into her God given empowerment and capacity as a mother to wisely instruct, powerfully nurture, and significantly alter the course of a nation for God’s glory." "The Lord has strategically positioned the present-day Deborah in authentic spaces of visibility for the purpose of providing biblically sound wisdom and prophetic insights to those who cross her path. The present-day Deborah will not be confined to a building but will provide wisdom from neutral and accessible “everyday” spaces.
