Sometimes we just need a good reminder
that we are all in this together. As Gideon was winding down his campaign his
men are growing hungry and they are told to wait until after the battle by two
fellow cities before they will feed his three-hundred men. As we know food is
fuel for the body. Imagine fighting battles in those days ... An army had to
walk to the battle. Each soldier had to carry their own supplies. The battles
themselves took physical strength to accomplish. Food was essential. Two towns
tell them to finish the campaign before they give them food. For this Gideon
brings destruction. It was for their worship, their peace, and their protection
that Gideon was bringing this battle before them.
Friends, as Christians we need to
remember we are in this together. Too many times we fight trivial battles. Too
many times we fight against the direction the world is moving. I am convinced
that one of Satan’s tactics is to get us fighting and arguing amongst ourselves
and not trying to love and lead people to a life changing relationship with
Jesus. If we would just love one another as well as others, I think we could
see a drastically different world. We need to unite together, draw together and
serve together so that destruction to ourselves doesn't happen and so Christ is
glorified.
