Compare the leadership qualities of Joshua, Gideon, Samson, and Deborah.
Answers
Answer:
- Deborah
Due to another of the unrighteous cycles of Israel, we learn that the Lord withdrew support from Israel and had allowed them to be oppressed.
Twenty years is a long time to be oppressed by a tyrannical ruler. Due to the number of his chariots, no one dared to rise in revolt against him. It appears the Lord in His mercy is going to give Israel another opportunity to demonstrate their obedience.
- Gideon
Gideon, like Deborah, was serving as a judge in Israel. He is number four on our list of twelve judges. Israel’s enemies at this time are the Midianites and the Amalekites.
Gideon is one of most unlikely heroes in the scriptures. He is full of doubts and is extremely reluctant to answer the call of the Lord. He wants proof, in the form of signs, before he is willing to fulfill the Lord’s errand. Unfortunately, in many regards, he is a lot like us. Many of us want to see both signs and wonders before we are willing to act. Maybe, we too, can learn from Gideon’s experience.
