Whenever the nation loses its way through disobedience to God, it opens itself to attack by the enemy, but God will always send someone to direct and deliver the nation back to righteousness and right thinking.
 
At the Cross,

Scripture of the Week:  
Barak, Hallelujah!
Judges 4:1-7, 12-16 (The Message)

   The People of Israel kept right on doing evil in God's sight. With Ehud dead, God sold them off to Jabin king of Canaan who ruled from Hazor. Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim, was the commander of his army. The People of Israel cried out to God because he had cruelly oppressed them with his nine hundred iron chariots for twenty years.  Deborah was a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth. She was judge over Israel at that time. She held court under Deborah's Palm between Ramah and Bethel in the hills of Ephraim. The People of Israel went to her in matters of justice.  She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, "It has become clear that God, the God of Israel, commands you: Go to Mount Tabor and prepare for battle.
 
   Sisera immediately called up all his chariots to the Kishon River-nine hundred iron chariots!-along with all his troops who were with him at Harosheth Haggoyim.  Deborah said to Barak, "Charge! This very day God has given you victory over Sisera. Isn't God marching before you?" 
Barak charged down the slopes of Mount Tabor, his ten companies following him.   God routed Sisera-all those chariots, all those troops!-before Barak. Sisera jumped out of his chariot and ran. Barak chased the chariots and troops all the way to Harosheth Haggoyim. Sisera's entire fighting force was killed-not one man left.
