Through his story, discover the power of trust against insurmountable odds—a lesson as relevant today as it was then.

Like Gideon, we often find our faith tested. We face modern-day Midianites—fear, doubt, and distraction. Yet, through reflective prayer and community, we discover the strength to overcome.

Segment 4: Admonishing Warning and Call to Repentance
Beware of complacency, for it dulls spiritual senses and distances us from God's truth. Like Samson, whose unchecked desires led to downfall, we are warned of the peril in straying from God’s path. Reflect on Revelation 3:2-3's stern admonition to wake up and strengthen what remains, urging us toward sincere repentance and renewed faithfulness.
