What You Say: “Our Bible story was about a man named Gideon. He was the leader
of God’s army, and he was leading them into battle. At first, Gideon had
a large army. Let’s pretend you are Gideon and these are your soldiers.
Wow! Look at all of the soldiers you have! That’s great!
“Before Gideon went to battle, God told Gideon to make his army smaller.
Let’s take some of these soldiers away. Now Gideon has fewer soldiers.
Before Gideon could go to battle, God told Gideon to make his army
smaller . . . again! Can you give me another handful of your soldiers?
“Now Gideon has even fewer soldiers. How was Gideon going to win the
battle with a smaller army? Gideon had to decide if he would trust God
and go God’s way or not trust God and run away! Do you remember what
Gideon did? (Pause.) Gideon trusted God, and he went God’s way! And
they won the battle!
“Sometimes, we won’t understand how God’s way will work, but we can
always trust God because God’s way is always perfect! Whose way is
perfect? God’s way is perfect!”
Memory Verse
