Faithful Deliverer That God would use the unlikeliest of persons, most improbable of an army and unlikeliest of a battle plan only points to His Glory over human pride. And so even today, God saves the unlikeliest of people, fools to shame the wise, weaklings to shame the strong of this world. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Wise God. Great lessons: God is leading our lives in such a way as to use us for His glory, at the same time showing us our weakness, so to be evident that the power is His. Gideon was not qualified for that ministry, but God chose him and equipped and taught him: He will do the same with us. I liked especially the idea that, when we play with sin, God is not forsaking us, but disciplining us in order to turn us to Himself. Severe discipline is not sign of abandonment, but of love and care.
