Gideon: God's Choice
While Gideon was not the obvious choice to lead Israel in battle against the Midianites, he was God’s choice—and that made all the difference! When God reduced his army to an inadequate group of unlikely men, Gideon, though fearful, responded with faithful obedience and worshipped the Lord. He trusted God to secure the victory. As Alistair Begg reminds us, in the Christian life there is no place for pride; rather, all deeds are done according to God’s will and for His glory.
