Once again the Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight, and the Lord gave King Eglon of Moab control over Israel because of their evil.

But when the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help, the Lord again raised up a rescuer to save them.

“Follow me,” he said, “for the Lord has given you victory over Moab your enemy.” 

After Ehud’s death, the Israelites again did evil in the Lord’s sight. 2So the Lord turned them over to King Jabin of Hazor

Then Deborah said to Barak, “Get ready! This is the day the Lord will give you victory

‘Let the people of Meroz be cursed,’ said the angel of the Lord. ‘Let them be utterly cursed, because they did not come to help the Lord— to help the Lord against the mighty warriors.’

“Lord, may all your enemies die like Sisera! But may those who love you rise like the sun in all its power!”

Lord God my Father,

Keep me in your favor and away from your enemy. If I must fight for you, go ahead of me and show me your path, give me victory. Protect me from doing evil and representing you poorly. Bless my family and land and use us for your desire.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
