How do you know if you’re making the right decision? Many people ask for a sign, just like Gideon did. But Judges 6 reveals why testing God isn’t real faith.
Gideon was called to deliver Israel, but he doubted. He laid out a fleece, twice, to confirm what God had already promised. Today, many believers do the same—setting up conditions instead of trusting God’s Word. But Gideon’s story teaches that seeking signs doesn’t strengthen faith—it distracts from it. God had already told Gideon He would lead him to victory, but Gideon kept hesitating.
This episode challenges you to stop waiting for external confirmation and start trusting God completely. You don’t need a fleece to know God’s will—you need wisdom, prayer, and faith in His promises. If you’ve ever struggled with decision-making or wondered if God was leading you, this message will help you move forward with confidence.
Don’t rely on signs—rely on Scripture. Don’t test God—trust Him. Let Gideon’s lesson encourage you to walk by faith, not by sight.
