at that time. And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between
Ramah and Bethel in the hill-country of Ephraim: and the children of

--Judges 4. 4, 5.

My Father, help me to be thoughtful and just. May I consider the great
truths and broader visions that may not be seen from where I stand.
May I be willing to accept a better view. Grant that I may realize
that the battle of life is not a sham battle, but a struggle for the
advancement of life. Amen.
