Gideon and the 300 valiant men

GIDEON WAS A JUDGE OF ISRAEL, DURING A PERIOD OF 40 YEARS, WHO DEFEATED A VERY LARGE ARMY WITH ONLY 300 MEN.
ISRAEL HAD TURNED AWAY FROM THE WAYS OF THE ETERNAL GOD, AND ADOPTED IDOLATRY.
SO GOD ALLOWED ENEMIES TO RISE UP TO OPPRESS ISRAEL.
THEN THE MIDIANITES AND THE AMALEKITES ROSE UP TOGETHER, FOR SEVEN LONG YEARS THEY INVADED AND TOOK ALL THE FOOD AND ALL THE CATTLE OUT OF THE FIELD. AND TO SURVIVE THE ISRAELITES HID FOOD IN CAVES MADE IN THE LIMESTONE MOUNTAINS, BUT THEY STARVED VERY MUCH.
THEN THE ISRAELITES CRIED OUT TO GOD FOR HELP. GOD SENT A PROPHET TO EXPLAIN THAT THE OPPRESSION WAS PUNISHMENT FOR IDOLATRY.


To accept Jesus as our savior we need to recognize that we are weak, sinners, and that we need Him in our moments of suffering and anguish to give us comfort and peace to face the difficulties of our life on earth.
When we accept Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross, our story changes:
We are no longer condemned to an eternity without God, instead we are called His children and become part of His Heavenly Kingdom.
Those who accept Jesus must obey His teachings and choose to live a life of obedience.
We are only truly happy when we receive God's love through Jesus Christ!

Acts 16:31
They replied,
“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved
you and your household.”
