Reflection on Verse for Today
We need to watch our human tendency to elevate and idolize leaders which potentially leading to the pitfalls of power and pride. Gideon’s example teaches us to avoid these traps by keeping our focus on God and remembering that all power and authority ultimately belong to Him.
As Christians we need to reflect on who or what rules our lives and encourages us to submit to the Lordship of God in every aspect of our lives. By doing so, we ensure that our lives are aligned with God’s will, and we bring glory to our heavenly King.
