" MIRACLE REGARDING THE FLEECE "

Do you believe in the possibility of Miracles? This week we will be looking into The Miracle Regarding The Fleece. " Miracle:" Is a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency. ( Wonder, Marvel, Sensation, Phenomenon, or Mystery). Please read or re-read Judges 6:36-39. Was Gideon testing God, or was he simply asking God for more encouragement? In either case, though his motive was right (to obey God and defeat the enemy), his method was less than ideal. Gideon seems to have known that his requests might displease God (6:39), and yet he demanded two miracles (6:37-39) even after witnessing the Miraculous fire from the rock (6:21). It is true that to make good decisions, we need facts. Gideon had all the facts, but still, he hesitated. He delayed obeying God because he wanted even more proof. Demanding extra signs was an indication of unbelief. Fear often makes us wait for more confirmation when we should be taking action. Visible signs are unnecessary if they only confirm what we already know is true. Today the greatest means of God's guidance is his word, the Bible. Unlike Gideon, we have God's complete, revealed word. If you want to have more of God's guidance, don't ask for signs; study the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Get excited when you are preparing to do your daily study. Change your mindset and take it slow when reading and studying the Word Of God. Until next Time... Jim,
