Did you know that the bible has seven prophetesses? According to Jewish tradition, Deborah, was one of "seven prophetesses" in the scriptures, with Sarah, Miriam, Hannah, Abigail and Esther. Historians say that Deborah was a judge for 40 years. She helped lead a victory over the Canaanites. Her story can be found in the Book of Judges. Deborah gave her judgements under a palm tree and Psalms 92:7 says that “good people will flourish like a palm tree. Not like grass, as the wicked, which is weak and tender, and soon cut down; but like palm trees, that are firm and strong.” Deborah, too, was a strong leader.
Have you ever read about the “Deborah Anointing?” It offers blessings for females that although they may have been trapped in tradition and locked into captivity by cultural and gender prejudices, God is there to support them in breaking the cycle! God’s desire is for them to break through these barriers. In biblical times, and today, God calls women to a purpose greater than themselves.
What a special and amazing message and gift to our girls!
