Courage in the face of adversity.
Gideon was called by God to lead Israel against the Midianites when the Israelites were under oppression and felt powerless. Initially, Gideon was reluctant and questioned his ability, but he eventually stepped up with courage.
Judges chapter 6 verse 12 to 14,
When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, The Lord is with you, mighty warrior. Pardon me, my lord, Gideon replied. But if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us?
Faithfulness and obedience:
Gideon's story emphasizes the importance of trusting and obeying God's guidance.
He followed God's unconventional strategy to defeat the Midianites, which involved reducing his army from 30 to 1,000 to just 300 men, demonstrating faith in God's plan over human logic.
Judges chapter 7 verse 7,
The Lord said to Gideon,
The victory over the Midianites showed that success and deliverance come from God's power, not from human strength or numbers.
Gideon's story illustrates how God can work through seemingly inadequate resources to achieve great outcomes.
Judges chapter 7 verse 20 to 22,
The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their hands, the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, a sword for the Lord and Gideon.
While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled.
Stay Blessed
