Judges 7:20 The Story of Gideon....

Today's morning devotional from CH Spurgeon discussed the story of Gideon. That story is one of my favorite stories in the bible. It has even featured in a fun little Veggie Tales video called: Gideon, Tuba Warrior. It's one of Elijah's favorites, too.

Spurgeon sums up the story of Gideon in these words:

We can do nothing of ourselves, but we can do everything by the help of our God; let us, therefore, in His name determine to go out personally and serve with our flaming torch of holy example, and with our trumpet tones of earnest declaration and testimony, and God shall be with us, and Midian shall be put to confusion, and the Lord of hosts shall reign for ever and ever.

-CH Spurgeon

I love the part where he says: 'therefore, in His name determine to go out personally and serve with our flaming torch of holy example...'

There's our marching orders for today!
