Let's Meditate on these Key Points this Week:
- Repentance involves admitting guilt, acknowledging our sinful condition, and accepting the consequences of our actions.
- Disengagement and distraction in our spiritual lives can lead to moral downfall, as illustrated by David's story.
- God desires integrity in our inner self and is more pleased with a broken and contrite heart than with outward sacrifices.
Gideon: The Wounded Warrior
December 1, 2024 • Sean Bynum • Judges 6
Here are a few aspects of the message to meditate on this week:
- God sees us differently than we see ourselves. He called Gideon a "valiant warrior" when Gideon saw himself as weak and insignificant.
- Our doubts and fears don't disqualify us from God's calling. Gideon repeatedly sought confirmation, yet God patiently worked with him.
- Stepping out in faith, even with imperfect trust, allows God to work powerfully through us. Gideon's obedience, despite his fears, led to victory for Israel.
