For example, Deborah was a prophetess who told Barak that the Lord would deliver victory to his army. Despite the prophecy, Barak was hesitant to go and stated that he would not go without Deborah, to prove that she had faith in her visions. Since Deborah was faithful and courageous, she agreed to go instantaneously. But there was a consequence for Barak because he did not have faith in God. Deborah said that since he had been reluctant to go, the victory would be a woman’s. Deborah was courageous because she had no fear to go into battle with Barak because of her faith in God. She is a brilliant example of not only courage, but faith in God as well. Another example would be Ruth, who gave up everything she ever knew to worship the Israelites
