Pastor’s Desk
The book of Judges tells a story of a man by the name of Gideon – A man just like you and me who God chose to deliver His people from the evil Nation of Midian. Due to the sins of His people, Israel, God allowed the Midianites to conquer their land. But, God chose to have mercy on His people and He would free them from the Midianite terror through a fearful (not fearless) Gideon. God first finds this would be leader, “hiding” in a wine press while threshing wheat. The Angel of the LORD came to Him and called him a “mighty man of valor”. God sees in us that which He can do in us. But, wlhen God guides, God provides and he will give to Gideon that which he needs, to do that which God calls him to do. The interesting part of this story is watching this man Gideon rise from his fear as he learns to rely on God and not on his own power. This story lets us know that the God we serve can win for us even in overwhelming odds. Today, Deacon/Pastor Don Bosdell will use this story, teaching us that through faith even we will have victory – He is
more powerful than any roaring lion.
STAY ALERT!
