In Judges 6:25-40, God initiates the cycle of grace with Gideon by instructing him to destroy his father's altar to Baal and build an altar to the Lord. This process of God’s work in Gideon’s life marks the beginning of his transformation from a fearful man to a faithful leader.

1 Thessalonians 3 stresses the church's establishment in Christ during trials. Paul sends Timothy to strengthen their faith, rejoices at their commitment, and prays for their continued growth in Christ.

The story of Gideon shows that God is not limited by our fears and weaknesses. God can and does chose people like you and me to accomplish his will on this earth.

This opening chapter is short, only ten verses, although we will see Paul commend these young Christians for their work of faith, labor of love and steadfastness in hope.

A godly mother is building a legacy of courage, faith, and greatness. Jochebed, portrayed in Exodus as an honorable mother, exemplifies sacrificial love and devotion.

Today we learn through Deborah that true faith means we can trust in God in all situations.

In Daniel chapter 12, we learn about a time of trouble, but faithfulness to God has a rich reward, not necessarily in this life, but certainly for all of eternity.
