Judges 7:10-11 God told Gideon, “If you are afraid…go down to the
camp…and listen to what they are saying…you will be
encouraged”.
God sent Gideon down to the enemy camp to hear what they were saying – to encourage him! When he arrived a soldier was telling a friend about his dream, “A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent…collapsed.
His friend responded, ‘this can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon…God has given…the whole camp into his hands.’ When Gideon heard the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped God” (Jdg 7:13-15).
When you need encouragement – listen to what your critics are saying! It’s a class for your enrichment. You’re making a difference and doing what God has sent you to, otherwise they wouldn’t even notice you. Let their attack strengthen your faith and sharpen your
focus but don’t be afraid. You must be doing something right to warrant this much attention! You can never be defeated.
