«The sword of the Lord and of Gideon!» Judges 7:18
Gideon was not a very important man in Israel. But one day God called him to deliver the Israelites from the enemies who came to steal their crops and livestock. Gideon was scared. But when he decided to trust God, wonderful things happened.
To fight against the great enemy army, Gideon had only 300 men! This was very few in front of so many soldiers against them.
Gideon divided his men into three groups and gave each of them a trumpet and a pitcher with fire inside.
Then, when he gave the signal, they would blow the trumpets, break the jars with fire inside, and shout: “For the Lord and for Gideon!”
Do you know what happened? All the Midianite and Amalekite enemies ran away running and shouting. And they fought among themselves.
God gave Gideon the victory!
Let’s practice!
God wants to make you brave like Gideon! What would you like to ask Jesus for?
