Judges 6:33-7:23 – CONCERNING GOD’S WILL
In this passage we find some lessons which are important to us because they involve the will of God.
GOD IS PATIENT – 6:33-40
The enemy returned.
Gideon assembled an army.
Gideon put out two fleeces.
God had already called Gideon, and Gideon should not have been questioning God’s will, but God very patiently honored his request for further guidance.
God is patient with us when He calls us to service, but we should not try His patience, nor should we be continually looking for “signs”. When we know something is God’s will, we should do it.
GOD IS PARTICULAR – 7:1-8
He wants things done his way.
GOD IS PROVIDENTIAL – 7:9-14
God knew that Gideon needed reassurance and He provided it.
He will reassure us as we seek to do His will.
GOD IS POWERFUL – 7:15-23
There was a great victory
