Write Your Own Passage!

Greetings,

The Bible is filled with fascinating passages like this one:

“Jael, the wife of Heber, the Kenite, most blessed of women is she, favored above all women who dwell in tents! Sisera asked for water, and she gave him milk in a dish fit for lords. And then she took a tent peg in her left hand and a worker’s hammer in her right, and she struck Sisera.  She broke and battered his head; she pierced his temple, and he dropped dead” (Judges 5:24-27). 

Sisera was the captain of a mighty enemy army, and he was greatly feared in Israel.  But in the verses above we learn that he was overthrown by a gal. That’s right.  After a brutal battle where Sisera saw his defeat coming, he abandoned his troops and landed in Jael’s tent. She recognized the enemy, and she was willing to fight.  Jael was a mighty woman who brought victory! 

If I could write my own passage it would say this:

“Yenise, wife of Jorge, the New Jerseyan, most blessed of women is she, favored above all women who live in Westchester.  The enemy came close to her dwelling, and she met him head-on.  He tempted her and her family, and she prayed for them not to fall for it.  Then she chose prayer as a way of life for every single obstacle and trouble that headed their way, and she struck that enemy down.  She broke every single plan he had for destruction in the mighty name of Jesus, and victory was hers and her family’s!”
