This is a beautiful chapter of scripture. The reason Israel’s walk is like a yo yo and they fall away is because their faith is not remaining strong. Ultimately when we engage in sin and disobedience it comes from a lack of faith. When we see God for who He is and cultivate that faith we will be more steadfast and say no to sin.
What God did in this chapter was to help build both Israel and Gideon’s faith because uiltimately that is God’s desire. May we see the beauty of this chapter and recognize the importance of keeping our faith strong so we live to honor Him.
