They sang of her victory over Sisera.
But Barak is still listed in the Hall of Faith... and we can learn three powerful truths from his faith

This, our 175th episode of Wisdom from Above, starts with a story about a fire that broke out at a chemical plant. A Norwegian fire truck saves the day, but things are not what they seemed. Things are not always as they seem to be on be the surface, are they? We may see some event in our life as an obstacle when God knows its an opportunity. We may see some event as a crushing defeat when God sees it as a course correction. We may think of something as a disappointment when it is really His appointment.

One: Don't miss the boat.

Four: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Five: Build your future and your children’s future on high ground.
Six: For safety's sake, travel in pairs. Seven: Speed isn't always an advantage. The turtles were on board with the cheetahs.
Eight: When the doodoo gets really deep, don’t just sit there and complain, shovel.
Nine: Listen to God over people. People said the Titanic couldn’t sink and people said the Ark couldn’t float. Ten: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.Listen in for biographical sketch of Noah's unsinkable faith.

The episode of Wisdom from Above highlights the necessity of faith. This is not faith in faith; but rather faith in God! This is not a leap into the dark; but rather a leap into the arms of God. Some people have their feet firmly planted in mid-air; and they get tossed to and fro like a boat in a stormy sea. We have our feet firmly planted in the solid bedrock of God's Word; and we are anchored with a settled assurance that what God says is true! This is not an "if you believe it, you can achieve it" faith; but rather it is an "if God said it, that settles it" faith! The key is not an enormous amount of faith; but rather the tremendous object of faith! Our faith is in God!
