Judges 5

v1-5: "God is pleased to be glorified by our joy in him and in his wonderful works," and this is "a very good way of spreading knowledge and remembering great events forever." This is one of the reasons why singing hymns and songs of praise in our gatherings is important.

v6-11: Is God enough? Do you grow weary of following Him? The sin of the Israelites was thinking that having only the Lord as their God was not enough. "They wanted more; they had to have more gods, many more gods, and even more gods."

v12-18: "Deborah stirs herself and Barak to celebrate this victory," which shows us that "praising God is a work we should awake ourselves to."

v19-23: "The conflict between God and the principalities and powers of the kingdom of darkness does not allow for neutrality." If we are not with God we are against Him.

v24-31: "Though our enemies are to be prayed for, God's enemies, as such, are to be prayed against. And when we see some of God's enemies significantly humbled and brought low, this is an encouragement to us to pray for the downfall of all the others."
