Why Gideon? … God’s Choice: Romans 9:15-24
But Gideon did have some good traits: Judges
6:15 Humility… I am the least in my father’s house.
6:17 Caution… shew me a sign …
6:24 Spiritually … Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD …(also 7:15)
6:27 Obedience… did as the LORD had said unto him: …
6:34-36 Fellowship with God … Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon,(also 7:4,9)
7:16-18 Strategy… he divided the three hundred men into three companies
8:1-3 Tact… What have I done now in comparison of you?
8:22-23 Loyalty to God… the Lord shall rule over you.
BUT even the best (when they trust themselves) fall into sin!
Solution: Keep GOD first in your life.
