"Watch me," he told them. "Follow my lead. When I get to the edge of the camp, do exactly as I do (Judges 7:17).
These words reflect the kind of leader Gideon was. He knew what to do. He modeled what he knew. And he asked the people to do what he modeled. And to sum up in one word, it’s about confidence. Gideon gained confidence despite of his doubts and series of testing God. He allowed Gideon to test Him for Gideon’s sake and to accomplish His plan for Israelites. For to God, He will do what it takes to empower whom he called to establish his purpose.
I’ve seen how faithful God is in my life. Whenever I’m off the course, He redirects me to his path. He is really patient with me not because I am the only person who can carry the task. But His love for me urges him to become patient. He could assign the task to someone else, yet despite of my shortcomings he purposely chose me so that at the end of the day, my life becomes the glory of his son Jesus. And if I become successful, I have nothing to be proud of. It’s because of his grace. It’s all about him.
