He worshipped

And so it was, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. He returned to the camp of Israel, and said, "Arise, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand." – Judges 7.15

It was about time to move. The battle was laid out. The shrunken army was chosen. Gideon and his tiny army of 300 were about to go out and face the massive Midianite army.

In human eyes they didn’t have a chance. Walking by sight they were hopeless. Looking at the visible things it was a doomed effort.

But look what Gideon did. After God gave him the strange battle plans in a dream we read that Gideon worshipped. His worship was not based on results, but on faith.

It is easy to worship after the battle. It is easy to worship after the trial. It is easy to worship after the storm. It is easy to worship after the illness. It is easy to worship after the financial need is met.

But God is worthy of our worship before the answer is seen. He is worthy of our worship before the result.

God is worthy of worship because He is God.

May my worship of Him never depend on what is happening or what I can see, but because of who He is.
