Nine Great Examples of Faith
In the grand narrative of the Bible, we often focus on the prominent figures — kings, prophets, and apostles. However, nestled within the pages of Scripture are stories of lesser-known women whose faith, courage, and wisdom profoundly impacted the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan. These unsung heroes of the Bible offer us invaluable lessons in faith and obedience.
1. Huldah: The Prophetess of Truth
In 2 Kings 22, we encounter Huldah, a prophetess during the reign of King Josiah. When the Book of the Law was found in the temple, it was Huldah who Josiah turned to for divine guidance. Her faithful response and interpretation played a crucial role in Josiah’s reforms. Huldah reminds us that God’s truth often comes from unexpected sources and that His Word is the ultimate guide for life.
2. Jael: The Deliverer of Israel
The story of Jael in Judges 4 displays the unexpected ways God delivers His people. Jael, not a warrior nor a prophetess, was used by God to deliver Israel from their oppressor, Sisera. Her decisive action in killing Sisera was instrumental in the victory of Israel. Jael’s story illustrates that God can use anyone, regardless of their societal role, to fulfill His purposes.
