Scripture Union Daily Guide 27th May 2025 Outline
What challenge did the Ephraimites present to Gideon (Judges 8:1)? The mettle of a leader who is worth his or her salt is partly tested by how he or she handles criticism, complaints, and correction. Notice Gideon’s response to the Ephraimites (Judges 8:2-3). Indeed, “a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1) and “The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered” (Proverbs 17:27).
Notice the state of Gideon’s army in Judges 8:4, and the challenge that Gideon faced to maintain high level motivation for his exhausted army! A sharp focus and clear strategy were imperative for Gideon and his army if they were to capture and defeat the kings of Midian. Reflect on how you handle discouraging experiences, or constraint of resources in a time of need. What lessons can you learn from how Gideon handled the men of Succoth (Judges 8:5-7), and the men of Penuel (Judges 8:8-9)? Gideon’s focus, patience and strategy paid off when he finally captured Zebah and Zalmunna and routed their entire army.
* Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
Closing Prayer:
Lord, keep me focussed on you when I am faced with life battles. I know there is victory in you.
