In the week's story we're continuing to work through the story of Gideon. In this final part Gideon defeats the Midianites despite being outnumberd 450 to 1. The result is that the Israelites now want to make Gideon their leader, but he declines, saying they should make the Lord their leader.

This is a hard one for our ego, but need to give God the credit for the good things in our lives. We are created to share God's love and His glory, but when we take the credit for ourselves we in essence try to contain His glory which becomes like a poison for us. Share the love, share the joy, and you will surprise your ego by actually being happier and more peaceful.
