Under Gods Command
Gideon

 Judges 8:22-23 The Israelites said to Gideon, “Rule over us – you, your son and your grandson – because you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.”  But Gideon told them, “I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you.  The LORD will rule over you.”

 The people wanted to make Gideon their King but Gideon stressed that the LORD was to rule over them.  Despite his inconsistencies, Gideon never lost sight of the importance for both a nation and an individual of putting God first. 

 Let’s Bring It Home: Is God first in your life?  If he is, he must affect every dimension of your life not just what you do in church.
