Judges 4:17-20

KJV ¹⁷ Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. ¹⁸ And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. ¹⁹ And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. ²⁰ Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.

Judges 4:17-20

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

 

17 He fled somewhere he thought he could find peace, the truth is when you are not following after the Lord peace is not long term but thru Him we can have a peace that last deep within our soul.

 

18 She showed care for him and she seemed like someone he could trust.

 

19 Milk often times helps people sleep so this is why she gave him milk instead of water, he would have slept more soundly.

 

20 Sometimes we put our trust in the wrong people, we are to put our trust in the Lord and not those of the world but our friends in Him, we may think people are our friends and are people we trust but they are not, He is always someone we can trust.
