He lays out a fleece and asks God to make it the only thing wet with dew in the morning. He was able to wring out a bowl full of water from the fleece the next morning. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/rooting-for-the-underdog-8230 2009-09-11T13:24:15-05:00 I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and it is cool when someone you’d never expect to even be in the game ends up winning it all, which is a pattern I’ve seen in the heroes of the Bible. God loves to make champions out of those that others would call, and who even call themselves, underdogs. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/downsizing-for-success-5775 2009-09-10T10:31:09-05:00 God puts us in situations where, like Gideon, we're left saying, "If there's a victory here, it's going to have absolutely nothing to do with me." So if you find yourself out-manned, out-gunned, and under-resourced right now - if it seems like God has been cutting you back and putting limitations on you - realize this may very well be the prelude to an amazing victory! http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judg.6.1-Judg.6.40&version=NIV 2009-07-17T10:05:02-05:00 Gideon, like many of the judges of the Old Testament, is a curious hero. He wanted tangible evidence of God's favor before he carried out his tasks--and he asked for it, more than once. This story of Gideon's requests for proof and God's patient responses makes for an enlightening read. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/chinese_traditional/Gideons%20Little%20Army%20ChineseT.pdf 2009-02-27T14:49:13-05:00 ChineseT: God calls Gideon a mighty man of valor.
