Gideon's Great God

When I was really honest with myself this summer I realized that I have always looked at Gideon, one of the Judges (or leaders) of the Israelites in the Old Testament as a bit of a “loser.”  He was the example of what “not to do.”  I mean, I could do better – I could be better than that guy, right?


But what if Gideon is included in the Bible not as an example of what not to do?  What if he is somehow a model?...

And what if Gideon isn’t the point of the passages at all?

What if instead of focusing on Gideon’s weaknesses, I turned around and looked at…

Gideon’s Great God???

Well, when I started doing that, things got interesting. 

Tune in next time to journey with me through Judges 6 & 7.
