Hey Girls,
I have just finished reading Judges chapter 8. I like verse 22-23. It says "Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your son, and your grandson also; for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian." but Godeon said to them, "I will not rule over you, nor shall my son rule over you; the Lord shall rule over you." Gideon had just won them a big battle and they thought it was due to Gideon's strength. Instead he pointed the glory back to God who really did the work. In this story, Gideon reminded me of Josh. Often times when I get proud of something Josh did, I praise him for a job well done. But most of the time Josh always says I didn't do anything, but God did. Give God the glory. I still think it's my job to praise Josh so that I can build him up, but I think it's cool how he redirects the praise.
Look forward to your thoughts this week.
Mandy :)
