March 27, 2012 – Judges 5

I didn’t think of a whole lot to write on this chapter.  This is a song of thanksgiving, which is always a good lesson.  It is appropriate that it follows the story immediately afterwards, teaching us that we need to thank God right away, while the memory is still there.  How often good things go by and we are lost in the moment and maybe make plans to thank God, or someone else, later.  Then the thank you becomes forgotten in the midst of life and is never done.  Deborah does not allow this by giving her thank you right away.
