Learn From Gideon, 33

~ God Keeps His Word ~

The Biblical account of the life of Gideon provides for one of the most interesting character studies in all of Scripture.  In this series we will discover practical lessons for living the Christian life today.  

Scripture  ~  “And every man stood in his place all around the camp; and the whole army ran and cried out and fled.  When the 300 blew the trumpets, the Lord set every man’s sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath” (Judges 7:21-22)

Learn From Gideon  ~  We serve a faithful and trustworthy God—One who always keeps His word and His promises. 

1. God gave Gideon specific instructions.
2. Gideon followed God’s instruction.
3. God kept His word to Gideon!  “…God, who cannot lie…” (Titus 1:2).
4. We can be assured that if we do God’s work in His way we will accomplish that which He has set forth for us to do. 
5. In a future day everyone will understand that God is a faithful and true God.  “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.  And He [Jesus Christ—Son of God’ who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war” (Revelation 19:11). 

concluding comment  ~  We learn about Gideon primarily from Judges 6-8, but also Isaiah 9:1-7, and Hebrews 11:1-3, 32-34.
