"The time would fail me to tell of Gedeon" - Heb. 11:32

The outstanding lesson of Gedeon's life is that of the importance of individual faithfulness. In a day of sad declension and of insubjection to God on the part of the chosen people, Gedeon stands out as one who dared to believe God and to act upon His Word. He always honors individual devotedness, no matter how dark the day and how far the public or collective testimony may have deteriorated. So today, God is looking for and using men who dare to go against the general trend of the times, who put faithfulness to His testimony above self-interest, and consequently are willing and ready to risk everything in obedience to the Word. Such can be sure that He who calls and equips them for His service will never let them down. One man with God is a host in conflict with the embattled forces of evil. - H. A. Ironside

Show me the way, O Lord, and make it plain; I would obey Thy Word,

Speak yet again; I would not take one step until I know, which way it is that Thou wouldst have me to go.

O Lord, I cannot see! Vouchsafe me light! The mist bewilders me,

Hold Thou my hand, and lead me by Thy side; I dare not go alone: be Thou my Guide.
