Judges 7 - Praying God's Word

Please read Judges 7.

Meditate on verses 20b-21a.

A sword for the LORD and for Gideon! 

Each stood in his place around the camp.

What a great story of victory with the LORD! After reducing Gideon’s army from 32,000 to 300 men, God miraculously used them to conquer the Midianite and Amalekite armies, whose men and camels were too numerous to count.

This story is so typical of God. He puts you in an impossible situation (v. 12). He gives you signs of His presence (vs. 13-15), then He ensures that He will get the glory for the victory by removing what makes you prideful (vs. 2-8). He overcomes your fears (vs. 9-11). He sets the sword of the enemy against itself (v. 22), and He removes the enemies’ heads (v.25).

Is this a typical story in your life? Obey God’s Word, which is the sword of the LORD (Ephesians 6:17), and take a stand in the place He puts you. You will see His victory!

Pray Judges 7:7, 15, and 20-21 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, deliver ______ and me! 

We bow in worship of You; give _______ into our hands.

With Your sword, LORD, we stand in the place You put us.

For the glory of Your victory, Jesus~”
