Good day believers,
I hope that we are all pressing on and asking GOD “what more can I do for you,” and “what EXACTLY do I need to change to live a life more pleasing to you?” Remember it’s ALL about him. Let’s eat…
GOD does not want a slaughter!!!! HUH why not? I remember back in the days when we used to play rough touch football on my block in Brooklyn. We always had two captains choose up the two teams by having them pick players one after the other. The captains, however, tried their best to pick a dominant team rather than make it fun by creating two equally talented teams. Plain and simple, each captain tried his best to have a slaughter.
In the book of Judges, chapter 7, it reviews some of Israel’s battles after they arrived in the Promised Land. Right as they were going to battle the Midianites 7:2 The LORD said to Gideon (Israel’s leader), “You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. In order that Israel may not boast against me that her own strength has saved her”. So they got rid of 22 thousand soldiers and they had 10 thousand left. 7:4 But the LORD said to Gideon, “There are still too many men”. So now 10 thousand men were scaled down to 300 hundred men and they got the victory.
