Models of Leadership - Deborah - God's 'bee'

We are calling her God's 'bee', because that is what her name means in Hebrew. She, the first judicial official mentioned in the Bible, is a married woman - Judges 4/5.

Deborah produced the 'honey' of fellowship and community. She was available to the people.

Deborah produced the 'honey' of discernment as an effective judge.

Deborah produced the 'honey' of motivation - specifically, we read how she encouraged Barak to obey the Lord's command.

Deborah produced the 'honey' of support. Her presence imparted strength.
