God's Sovereign Control

Commentators explain that the phrase "I will draw" signifies God's active, providential control. God wasn't merely predicting Sisera's movements; He was supernaturally influencing the enemy general's mind to lead him and his powerful army to the exact location chosen for their defeat. This reveals God's sovereignty over all events and even the hearts of His enemies.
