In reality God is the king, the unique husband and the Head over all things. That means His people must be under  Him, submissive and subject to Him in a tender  and intimate way . But in much of the history of God&#8217;s people they rejected Him in His headship always resulting in a condition of His people falling lower and lower and been evidenced by defeat after defeat at the hands of the various enemies of God&#8217;s people.\u00a0 At such times we occasionally see Jehovah acting in an extra ordinary way to jolt his people into the realization of their actual condition. Such a time existed in the book of Judges after the death of Joshua, God chosen leader over Israel as the people turned away from Him and their enemies began to prevail, God responded by raising up not a mighty king to lead Israel back to victory but rather He raised up Deborah, a female.\u00a0 Though she was very capable, she was the one who lived in submission and in subjection to Him.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Judges (Program #3)\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2024-08-25T06:06:22-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Judges (Program #3) - The Miserable History of Israel's Forsaking God (2)\r\n\r\nIf God's people are to enjoy all the benefits of their relationship with Him, it is necessary for them to maintain this relationship in a proper way.
