This Old Testament judge's calling was unusual. Initially filled with doubt, he eventually led a small, seemingly ill-equipped army to victory through unconventional methods that demonstrated his faith in God. Who is he?

Correct Answer

B) Gideon

Gideon's story in the book of Judges shows a relatable struggle with doubt and fear before eventually embracing a bold faith that led to victory. Originally skeptical of God's call, Gideon tested God through various signs (Judges 6). Yet, once convinced, he became a courageous leader. Despite his small army, God gave Gideon instructions for an unusual battle strategy, centered around trumpets and broken jars, emphasizing that victory ultimately depended on God's power rather than human might. Gideon's story highlights how God can use ordinary people who persevere in faith to achieve extraordinary things.
