The story of Gideon is the story of the Lord at work. This is summed up
in (a) Gideon’s call - “The Lord is with you, brave man ... You will
rescue Israel from Midian with the strength you have. I am sending you”
(Judges 6:12,14). (b) Gideon’s victory over the Midianites - “Attack!
The Lord will hand Midian’s camp over to you” (Judges 7:15). There is
also a warning for us. Even those who have been used by the Lord can
fall into Satan’s trap. Gideon made a gold idol, and “it became a trap
for Gideon and his family” (Judges 8:27).
