Gideon led 300 men against 135,000 Midianites.

Gideon led 300 men against 135,000 Midianites and achieved a complete victory.

...300 against 135,000❗️
...🤔
No matter how you look at it...
Israel had no chance of winning...😰
...It was because of God's intervention...
Israel was victorious❗️.
...For 40 years under Gideon's rule, Israel enjoyed peace.
However, after his death, tragedy struck. As soon as Gideon died,
the Israelites quickly reverted to their old ways, quickly becoming devoted to Baal, committing sexual immorality, making Baal-Berith their god, and forgetting the true God...😰
...What a tragedy😱
Even though the Lord had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies,
they reverted to their old ways again.

…No matter how much victory of faith one experiences…😢
Those who do not repent…will revert to their old nature and lifestyle.

…Repentance is…the lifeline of a Christian❗️
…Are you okay?

Shalom 😄
