GIDEON’S REQUEST FOR A SIGN
DECEMBER 11
Judges 6:17-24
GIDEON’S REQUEST FOR A SIGN
Gideon was a careful person. Earlier on, his faith was not strong. So he wanted a sign from the Angel of the LORD. This would assure him that it really was the Angel of the LORD and he should obey him. He asked the Angel to wait while he prepared a present for Him. When it was ready, the Angel of the LORD told Gideon to put the meat offering and bread on the rock, and pour the broth (soup) over them. The Angel of the LORD then touched the offering with the tip of the staff (stick) in His hand. Fire appeared and burned the offering up! And the Angel of the LORD was gone. Gideon got the sign he wanted!
Dear reader, today we do not need signs from angels to tell us what to do or to give us courage to do it. Such signs are no longer given by God as they are not needed. We have a perfect book – the Bible - that tells us what God’s promises and commandments are for us. But if you do not read the Bible, how will God speak to you and how will you know what to obey to do?
Some signs given by God - pick from the following words:
1. God will not send a flood to destroy the world again - __________.
2. The rod of the man whom God shall choose as priest shall -
__________.
3. The Lord’s power made the Red Sea __________ for His people to
walk across.
4. God saved Daniel by shutting the mouths of the __________.
5. The Lord sent food to His people in the wilderness - __________.
6. Jesus is the resurrection and the life – He made dead Lazarus
__________.
7. Jesus is the Lamb of God who suffered and died for our sins at
__________.
Thought: God can show me His will (what He wants me to do) through the Bible.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me pray and read Your Word every day, so that I can know Your will for me. I know sometimes, I fail to do so because of various reasons. So please help me to be more disciplined. This is my plea in Jesus’ name. Amen.
