TODAY’S INSPIRATION: JUDGES 7V15-18.
15 ¶ And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.” (KJV)
INSPIRATION NOTE:
Judges 7:15-18 showcases a powerful testament to the divine judgment of the wicked and the subsequent deliverance of the oppressed.
In this passage, we witness a remarkable account of God’s transformative power, as Gideon, under divine guidance, executes a strategic plan to overthrow the oppressive Midianites.
Through Gideon’s obedient action and God’s intervention, the tide of injustice turns in favor of the oppressed, illustrating a profound narrative of divine justice and liberation.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, acknowledging the inspiring story of Gideon in Judges 7:15-18. In this passage, we witness the unfolding of your divine plan for justice and deliverance.
Lord, just as you guided Gideon in his battle against the oppressors, we humbly ask for your guidance in our own lives. Strengthen our faith, O Lord, and grant us the wisdom to discern your voice amidst the trials and challenges we face.
Empower us, like Gideon, to trust in your mighty power to bring about justice and liberation. May this story embolden us to stand firm against evil and to seek your will above all else.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
