This is a ministry of striving for eternity. Our next judge is
00:48
Gideon. And many people know the account with Gideon because, well, it's one that kind of stands out.
00:54
So Gideon ends up being a judge. He is from the tribe of Manasseh.
01:00
He basically ends up dealing with the oppressors of the Minionites. And there were seven years of oppression.
01:08
Afterwards, there's about 40 years of rest because of Gideon. And Gideon really is an example of, well, a lot of things.
01:17
One, he's not so trusting of God. God wants him to go and destroy the Minionites.
01:22
He's not exactly thrilled with that idea. He says, God, I need a sign. So he puts out a fleece.
01:28
He says, you know, let it be the ground wet, or the ground dry, but the fleece wet.
01:36
And then the reverse the next day. And so you see, he's not really completely trusting. And sometimes when we are like that, like Gideon, God says, okay,
01:45
I'm going to do what I'm going to do, but you're not going to have it as easy as you might want. So Gideon ends up going and God's like, no, no, no, you have way too many men.
01:53
And he ends up saying, you need to have this test. And any men that drink the water, like a dog, well, let them go home.
02:01
But we're going to have just these men. Well, the men are just 300 men. He's going to go to war with 300 men.
02:07
And what's he going to do? He's going to take pitchers and crash them together and a trumpet. And that sounds crazy.
02:14
But it isn't when God is on your side. And that's what Gideon had to learn. That's what Gideon showed. So when God is on our side, we can defeat anything.
