| A fleece is like a contract between you & the
Lord! You make a bargain with God, you make Him an offer.
You specify the kind of revelation you want.--Like Gideon
did! Gideon laid a fleece on the ground & said, "Now Lord, if the fleece is wet in the morning & all the ground's dry, then I'll know that such-&-such is Your Will!" But when the Lord did it he still wasn't sure, so the next evening he said, "Now Lord, if the fleece is dry & the ground is wet, I'll believe it!" So the Lord did it, & Gideon then knew that God was with him. If the Lord hadn't performed a miracle with the fleece, Gideon might have quit entirely & lost heart. But when the Lord answered, that certainly was a miracle! (Judges 6:36-40) When the Lord answers a fleece, then you've got to have the faith that it was God, & that that's the right answer.--And when you make a deal with God, you'd better stick to it no matter what. It's just as important for you to keep YOUR part of the bargain & keep your word as it is for God to keep HIS! It's a test of faith! So make a WISE fleece, then stick to it, & you'll know it's God's answer! |
