LESSON: Gideon What is God doing for his people in this story? He chooses a weak man with a weak army to save the Israelites. Good news! How does God do the same for us—only better—in Jesus? Through the weakness of Jesus, he chooses to save us who are weak in the world (1 Corinthians 1:27). Believe it! How does believing this good news change how we live? We do not boast. We are content in hardships and weakness, knowing that faith in God beats worldly strength.
