Deborah the Prophetess and Barak, leader of the Israeli forces, sing a victory song. The song praises the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, Isaachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali for their fighting prowess. The tribes of Reuben, Dan, and Gilead are called to account for failing to join the fray.
God practices reversal again. The Lord chooses the least man of the least family of the least of the Israeli tribes to champion the cause of God's people--Gideon.
God, when I think I am too small, too weak, or too insignificant, please whisper the name of Gideon in my heart.
