We’re living in exciting times where Biblical prophecy is unfolding before us. We need to be discerning of the signs of the times around us. However, we’re not to be seeking after signs in order to bolster our faith.
Gideon seems more concerned with his reputation than the Lord’s. He was the biggest doubter of himself, but now it seems Gideon is intent on making a name for himself and doing things his way. Notice, the Lord is not mentioned anymore as the One guiding or directing Gideon.

The Pharisees were paying lip service to God but it was meaningless because it wasn’t coming from a heart of genuine worship and honor. Our Christian life in Christ is about the heart. Keep being renewed in the Word every day and let it cleanse your heart and lead you in His holiness.
