The Unexpected Victory

The battle training of Jael took the most unexpected form. 

The years spent hammering tent pegs into the ground, putting a roof over the heads of her family, would never have been considered weapons training in any army strategy.

Yet, in the Kingdom of God, the most mundane of things are the very things God uses for His glory. For the Lord specialises in using the unexpected, the overlooked, the seemingly unimportant. 

Ask God today what has He been using to train you for battle against powers and principalities? What unlikely tools is He giving you to be used for victory?

For it is in the unexpected where God shines brightest. A woman with tent pegs defeated a feared military commander. A brutal death on a cross led to the Resurrection. 

It is time to get ready for unexpected victories!

Judges 4:21 (NIV)

But Jael, Heber’s wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.
