Most people think a woman can't step up and "be a man" when a physical man is inept at being a man.

In the #Bible when Barak the man was too scared to go into war without a woman by his side, it was the prophetess Deborah who delivered #Israel from her enemies.
Judges 4:6-7
...she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam...and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
Judges 4:7
And I [Deborah] will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I [Deborah] will deliver him into thine hand.

Note: Deborah was the soul of #Israel who sat under a palm tree and judged Israel.
Judges 4:8
And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.

Sounds like a gutless coward.

Couldn't go to war unless a woman went with him.

And for all that...this was his reward:
Judges 4:9
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall NOT BE FOR THINE HONOUR...

...for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the HAND OF A WOMAN. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
I've shown many times how the hand is a symbol for the spirit of man.

And in this case, God chose to deliver the enemies of #Israel into the hand...

...the SPIRIT of a woman.

A woman who had more guts AND more courage than a man to go up and fight in a war for her country.
In this specific case... #Deborah got all the honour and glory for doing something that quite frankly a man like Barak should have been able to do without her.

But since #God is not a respecter of persons...it didn't really matter that Deborah was a #woman.
The only thing that really mattered was the qualifications.

Deborah was a woman who had a TOUGHER and more COURAGEOUS *spirit* than Barak did.

Every woman who knows a man isn't qualified to do his job will do it for him.
This is true of every woman.

You hear it all the time on Twitter.

Women demanding that men be this or men be that.

Women telling men to be more like this or more like that.

Because sadly, most men today are like Barak in the #Bible.
A woman doesn't want to do what man should do.

That is why men exist.

But they will do it when no other men are qualified.

And that is the sad state of our current world.

Limp wristed men.

And ruthless woman.

But this thread is not about gender.

It's about your spirit.
