‘And the Lord said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’ ‘
Judges 7:2
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
His hands.
Will.
Do it.
And.
Not mines!
God.
Told.
Gideon.
That.
He would.
Deliver.
The Midianites.
Into.
His hands.
But.
He had.
Too many.
Soldiers.
With him.
Therefore.
God.
Commanded.
Gideon.
To send.
Those away.
That were.
Fearful.
‘Now therefore, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him turn and depart at once from Mount Gilead.’ ” And twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.’
Judges 7:3
However.
There was.
Still.
Too many.
So.
God.
Gave.
Gideon.
Another command.
‘But the Lord said to Gideon, “The people are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. Then it will be, that of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ the same shall not go.” ‘
Judges 7:4
This.
Brought.
The number down.
To.
300.
‘Then the Lord said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.” ‘
Judges 7:7
Look.
In.
This season.
Of.
My life.
God.
Has revealed.
To me.
That.
He is.
Going.
To.
Deliver me.
But.
Not.
Through.
My own.
Strength.
So.
Others.
Will.
See.
And.
Know.
He did it!
My responsibility.
Is.
To.
Redirect.
The praise.
Of.
Men.
Back.
To.
God!
I pray.
That you.
Have faith.
In.
This season.
And.
Know.
God will.
Deliver you!
Therefore.
Remain.
Faithful.
And.
Keep.
Serving.
Where.
He has.
Planted you!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
