Days Nine & Ten: (Judges 8) 28 Days in Judges

If Gideon had the voice of Rosco P. Coltrane from “Duke of Hazard”, he would be yelling, “We’re in hot pursuit!”

Gideon is running after the Midianites, and finding out who is with him on the conquest.

When you find victory over an oppression, you have to pursue to eradicate it.  Too many of us, start down a road of change and then we stop at the first sign of victory.

• We start pursuing being healthier, and we stop at the first sign of success
• We start pursuing being free of bad habits, and we stop at the first point of breakthrough

Being completely free of oppressive thoughts and oppressive sins, takes a complete pursuit until you reach the core root of that oppression.

My prayer today is that the Lord would give me the strength and courage to keep fighting the good fight.
