Judges 7

What stood out today: 

3… 'Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.' " So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained.

 7 The LORD said to Gideon, "With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the other men go, each to his own place."

15 When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped God. He returned to the camp of Israel and called out, "Get up! The LORD has given the Midianite camp into your hands."

 22 When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the LORD caused the men throughout the camp to turn on each other with their swords. The army fled to Beth Shittah toward Zererah as far as the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.


My Response:  This story and so many other stories show your faithfulness and your power, Your willingness and Your ability.  Lord Jesus, You fight for and with Your people.  We are engraved in the palms of Your hands; nothing and no one can snatch us out of your hand.  I, too, worship You!
