Smash The Pitchers

So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands. 

Judges 7:19

In the Book of Judges, we read the strange directions Gideon received from God regarding assembling and arming an army to attack the camps of the Midianites and Amalekites.  Gideon followed God’s directions and the Israelites defeated their enemies. 

God is not in the business of doing things in ordinary ways.  God is in the business doing things in ways that demonstrate His power over all things.  When God directs us, it is not our job to question Him, it is our job to act and trust God.

When God says, “Smash the pitchers,” get busy smashing.
