DAY 13: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 13. 2023.
TODAY’S INSPIRATION: JUDGES 6V36-40.
“36 ¶ And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
38 And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
39 And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
40 And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.” (KJV)
INSPIRATION NOTE:
Judges 6:36-40 narrates the account of Gideon seeking a sign from God regarding his role in delivering the Israelites.
This passage highlights Gideon’s uncertainty and his desire for confirmation, ultimately showcasing God’s patience and willingness to provide reassurance. Gideon’s reliance on divine guidance serves as a powerful lesson about trust and faith in God’s deliverance.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father,
In light of the story of Gideon’s seeking for a sign, we come before You with hearts longing for guidance and clarity in our own lives. Just as Gideon sought Your assurance, we humbly ask for Your presence, wisdom, and discernment in our decision-making processes.
Grant us the faith to trust in Your deliverance, even when uncertainty surrounds us. Help us to be obedient to Your calling and guide us on the path You have laid out for us.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
