—Judges 6:25-27
by: Dale E. Rood.
This was not the main event that God was calling Gideon to perform, but it was something God was using to demonstrate the wholeheartedness of commitment necessary for the big event. Gideon passed the test. He did not let fear stop him, though he did let fear cause him to decide to do it at night. Can you point to small points of obedience that led to larger points of obedience in your own life? Did fear affect the nature of your obedience? How did God honor your obedience despite the fear confronting you?
