j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's.

Gideon the Judge Lesson

 

Talking Points

Point 1: Gideon got an early start in the morning.  Application: God's business requires haste and complete obedience.
Point 2: God told Gideon that there were too many men; Israel may have thought that with so many men and a good leader they could have won the victory alone.  As a result, God called for those with courage to trust Him.  Those without courage were sent home, still leaving 10,000 men.
Point 3: Next, God tested the men to see which ones were alert to the enemy and to danger.  The men were brought down to the water for the test; it revealed that most were not vigilant.  God excluded the unvigilant men from fighting, leaving only 300 men.  There were only a few men, but God could do His work with a few trusting, obedient, and vigilant men.  Application: We need to be on guard against the attacks of the enemy.
Point 4: God laid out the battle plans; He knew Israel's enemy, just as He knows ours today.  The enemy's camels and men were without number; nevertheless, with trumpets, lamps, and a great shout that the sword the LORD and of Gideon with them, the enemy was put to confusion.  The enemy fought against themselves and killed each other!  God's ways were best and they worked to bring Him the glory, just as they still do today.
