From Fear Filled to Feared – 3 Ways Gideon Can Help Our Kids See the Warrior in Themselves
So many times we want to see ourselves as the hero. I remember growing up my dad and I would watch wrestling, a lot. I loved it. Not only did I love it, I wanted to be like them, especially like one of my favorites. You know the one who came out with arm bands, long hair, and face paint. The one who would shake the ropes like he was breaking chains. He was ultimate. He was a warrior. The Bible is filled with the stories of many “heroes.” Some we want to be like more than others. But how do we as parents approach these stories with our kids so that they get a better understanding of not only who the character is, but Who God is? Lately I’ve been thinking about the story of Gideon. His is a pretty famous story filled with heroism, right? Let’s take a closer look and try to understand better what Gideon saw, and what God saw.
