Drinking Slowly
By Mark Flippo
Judges 7:
5-So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
6-And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7-And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
Everything you do and how you do it tells people something about you! God already knew how many to take to the battle. He wanted Gideon to learn a very important lesson. Not everyone that shows up for duty is ready for it! You must have eyes that look beyond what most see. You need to not only be able to protect yourself but everyone around you depends on you to be ready to fight a Spiritual warfare. God will quench our thirst but we need to keep our perspective correct! Make sure you are following the right leader! Be careful in all that you do! Make sure the thirst you are satisfying is the Godly side of you.
