I do not know about you, but I find it very easy to look for praise concerning the things I do, especially in church. I hope for compliments even for something as simple as giving a children’s message. Gideon was a truly humble man to give the praise back to God. He told those who sought to make him king that he would not rule over them. He reminded the nation of Israel that the Lord would rule over them. The next time you find yourself seeking out compliments for serving God, remember the humble example of Gideon.
