—Judges 6:25-32
by: Susie Sanborn.
Taking a stand for God can be difficult in the best of circumstances. I find myself becoming more and more cowardly as the stakes get higher. Gideon had good reason to be cautious about fulfilling the instructions God had commanded him to follow. Gideon’s father’s household served Baal, as did all the men of the city. When these men realized what Gideon had done to their gods they wanted to put him to death. How little we risk compared to Gideon when we take a stand for our Lord. Take courage and take a stand!
