—Judges 7:2-8

The moral of this story is that brave men drink their water by lapping it like a dog, right? No. The real moral is “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:31). God was putting Israel and Gideon in a position so that there would be absolutely no denying that it was the hand of the Lord that saved them. To Gideon’s credit as a leader, he obeyed the Lord’s command. How about you? What experiences of obedience have you had that strengthened your faith and demonstrated that God was at work in your life?
