—Judges 11:19-22
by: Steve Osborn.
Think of a time when God granted you an improbable victory—snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Did you tell other people your news or keep it to yourself? It is important to retell stories of God’s action on our behalf to remind both ourselves and others of what God can and will do for His people. Jephthah told the story of God providing victory and land for Israel hundreds of years earlier in an attempt to get the Ammonites to back down from their threats. Stories of God’s victories can encourage, inspire, comfort, and empower us. Make sure you are telling God’s stories regularly.
