"Follow me as I follow Christ," echoed Paul (1 Corinthians 11:1).
Gideon was a man of action. He was a doer, not simply a talker. He sought the Lord, selected 300 troops out of 32,000, risked his life by sneaking into the Midianite camp, surveyed the situation, overheard a conversation, came back, developed a strategy, supplied his troops, and then did battle. No committees, no dialogues, no discussions. He was a doer. He made things happen. And that's the kind of men God is looking for today - men who see the need and fill it, men who go for it. Gideon was a man who understood that leadership was not about lecturing, but simply about leading; not saying, "You go," but saying, "Let's go."
I like Gideon. He didn't say, "Listen to me." He said, "Look on me." This is real leadership. Whether in a marriage, family, ministry, or on the job site, the key is to say what Paul and Gideon said: Watch me. Do what I do.
That's my prayer for us.
