It took great faith for - - -
- 300 men to go against thousands
- To take no weapons
- To blow trumpets
- To break pitchers
- To shine lights
- To cry out -- “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.”
Judges 7:20-21 And the three companies blew the trumpets and brake the pitchers and held the lamps in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
The test of a truly consecrated life to God is one willing to submit to His plan even when it contradicts our plan. God’s plan is always best.
The surest way to know God’s plan is to practice Romans 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
