Gideon Defeats the Midianites
Judges 7:16-22
The Midianites had suppressed the children of Israel for seven years. God called Gideon, and Gideon doubted. He called men from other tribes to come help, and even asked God for a sign. He had to many men and God told him to send some home, only 300 remained. Gideon divided them into 3 groups and gave every man a trumpet and a pitcher with a lamp inside, and surrounded the Midianites camp.
The Victory
That night they blew their trumpets, broke the pitcher, held the lamps and cried the sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. The Midianites stood and then began to fight amongst themselves.
The Application
You can trust God. God does keep His promise, He is not a man that He should lie.
