Thank you Susan. For me the Heavens really do proclaim HIS GLORY!
Hey Josh...please tell us about your Avatar. I can not make it out 8)
Peace to you

It's an image from a graphic novel, which was recently made into a movie, called "300"...
The premise of the story is that an army of 300 Spartan soldiers took on the entirety of King Xerxes Persian army... ultimately all of but one of the 300 soldiers were killed, but not before they took out a huge chunk of the Persian army and rallied the moral of their own country to come to their aid in war.
I saw the movie a few weeks ago... at the time, I didn't know a lot about the story, but while I was watching... all I could think about was how much it reminded me of the story of Gideon and the army of 300 the Lord allowed him to take to battle against a much larger army.
So my avatar is an image from the book "300"... but I chose it because it reminded me of Gideon.
Thanks for asking!
Josh
Deborah-Leigh:
That is great Josh. ;D
The story of Gideon for me shows that the battle is not for the faint hearted! ;D :D the fearful are told to go back to their homes and not onwards to the Kingdom of God our new home towards which we run our race. :D 8) and to which Christ went to prepare a place for us.
Thanks for explaining.
Peace to you
Arcturus :)

The story of Gideon is truly one of the called and chosen.
Judges 7:4
And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
Judges 7:18
When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon
NickyM, Your post touched me, and we know that all that happens in this world is for the glory of God. We sometimes only see the dark side of the moon, but to God there is no difference.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Psalm 139:12
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Cor. 3:18
The more we see His light, the more we'll see his glory.
In Him,
Dwight

Wow, the story of "300" is very interesting and I did not make the connection to Gideon. The battle is not for the faint hearted indeed. My sons saw the movie a few weeks ago, and said it was a great movie ~ all about guts and glory. At that time, I couldn't help but think of our "little forum" of about 300! ;) :D
