Thinking about the life of Deborah and studying it closely, I came to see that God didn’t just raise a mother in Israel or appoint a judge—He also set her life up to exemplify the calling He placed on her. To do this, God positioned her among the right company. Deborah’s husband bore the name Lappidoth, which means Light, and the military general who sought her counsel was Barak, meaning Flash or Lightning.
This is no coincidence. Through Deborah’s positioning, God is revealing something powerful: to carry the weight of His mind, purpose, and assignment, our environment—our company—matters deeply.
Once again, God is inviting us into His system of Light. But this cannot happen if we do not intentionally place ourselves among “touches” and “light”—those who activate, illuminate, and align us with God’s purpose. Maybe if Deborah had been married to or surrounded by the wrong people, she would have done far less than God intended. But as we read in the book of Judges, Deborah was a woman who lived by divine strategy.
Light isn’t just an object of illumination; it is a system—a divine strategy to dismantle the forces of darkness positioned to oppress God’s people.
I want to walk in God’s Light, but I hear Him saying, “Ese, take off the darkness that comes in the form of people, places, organizations, objects, and books. Remove what dims your vision so you can clearly see the Light.”
So you can hear when God speaks—so that darkness doesn't disguise itself as Light.
Come into the Light. But the real question is—are you ready to be married to the Light?
Be joined with the culture of Light.
Let the true Light transform us into His image.
I am married to the Light—so today, I choose to take off the garments of darkness.
Stay Revived!
