As we continue on to make our call and election sure, we come to godliness. Godliness is not the same thing as virtue or moral excellence; however, godliness will lead to these virtues.
Our example for this week is Deborah. She is a married woman. We do not know if she has children. She is also a leader in Israel. You can find the account of Deborah in Judges 4-5.
Your assignment for today:
1. Find the definition of the word "godliness." I prefer you use a Strong's Concordance or similar book for this one. Our use today is slightly different from the biblical meaning.
2. Read the account of Deborah and notice two ways in which she shows godliness.

According to Vine's, godliness is: to be devout, denotes piety which, characterized by a Godward attitude, does that which is well-pleasing to Him.
Deborah showed godliness by speaking the word of God to Barak, and by her willingness to accompany him in battle.
She also showed godliness in her victor's song after the battle was one. In it, she did not cease to praise God for His leadership of their army.
