A poem posted at my other blog Step Ahead is inspired by the post ”Coming Together” that highlighted how Gideon overcame adversity throughout his life to do great things for God. As leader, his people achieved their aims and stepped ahead of their enemies. He then gave credit to God for all the victories.

The people had good leadership with a plan for them to achieve amazing things. Most of all, the Words of God gave the victory because Gideon listened. Let us praise God with the song Words by Hawk Nelson. Like the song says, “Words can build us up, words can break us down; start a fire in our hearts, or put it out”.
