Trust Me ? Judges 7

7th Year 11-12 Edition 3 – Jud7 l The Feast l August 23_2012 Judges 7 Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in Judges 7. “God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, a barley-cake to overthrow the tents of Midian, that the excellency of the power might be of God only. The gospel is a sword, not in the hand, but in the mouth: the sword of the Lord and of Gideon; of God and Jesus Christ, of Him that sits on the throne and the Lamb. The wicked are often led to avenge the cause of God upon each other, under the power of their delusions, and the fury of their passions. See also how God often makes the enemies of the church instruments to destroy one another; it is a pity that the church's friends should ever act like them.” Matthew Henry's Concise. “ 20 Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars. They held in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow. And they cried out, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” 21 Every man stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran. They cried out and fled. 22 When they blew the 300 trumpets, the Lord set every man's sword against his comrade and against all the army. And the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. 23 And the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali and from Asher and from all Manasseh, and they pursued after Midian.” Judges 7:20-23 English Standard Version (ESV). Did you notice that Gideon fully trusted God, enough to readily accept the reduction of his army to 300 soldiers? We can expect people to be so wise as to deem God's Word as foolishness. That's why we have God's Word to teach us that His ways are not the ways of the world. To show God's heart full of love for mankind. However if anyone rejects God's Word they become fools. “5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Treasure in Jars of Clay 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” 2 Corinthians 4:5-7(ESV). It is a good thing to trust in God, we have peace that surpasses that of the world. Though the world would deem what we believe to be foolishness. Notice that trusting God or not trusting in God appears to be foolish to adversaries. I however would rather trust in God's Word rather than that which the world believes. “1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good. 2 The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God..“Psalm 14:1-2 (ESV). Another thing I may want to ask myself is what offers more the world or God? I already know from whence my blessings flow. “1 When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.” Psalm 94:18-19 ESV. So let's continue to keep the first thing first. It is salvation through the blood of Jesus.
