Judges 6:36, 37 - The Voice of Circumstance.

Judges 6:36, 37 (NKJV) So Gideon said to 
God, "If You will save Israel by my hand as You 
have said - 37  look, I shall put a fleece of 
wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on 
the fleece only, and it is dry on all the 
ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel 
by my hand, as You have said." 

Judges 6:36, 37 (NIV) Gideon said to God, 
"If you will save Israel by my hand as you have 
promised - 37 look, I will place a wool fleece on the 
threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece 
and all the ground is dry, then I will know that 
you will save Israel by my hand, as you said." 

Judges 6:36, 37 (NLT) Then Gideon said to 
God, If you are truly going to use me to 
rescue Israel as you promised, 37 prove it to me in 
this way. I will put a wool fleece on the 
threshing floor tonight. If the fleece is wet with dew 
in the morning but the ground is dry, then I 
will know that you are going to help me rescue 
Israel as you promised. 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Not only does God speak to us through His 
Word and not only will He never contradict His 
Word, but God also speaks through circumstances. 
Although I'm not one to base major life decisions on 
circumstances alone, clearly there have been times when I 
have sensed that something was the will of God 
and then things would fall into place 
circumstantially. At other times, circumstances have made it 
obvious that God was saying no. 
   A classic example of God speaking through 
circumstances was when God spoke to Gideon, who laid his 
fleece out on the ground, asking God to confirm His 
Word. Certainly Jonah got the right message when 
God brought his journey to an abrupt halt, and 
he found himself in the belly of a very large 
fish. 
   Of course, as a part of this process, God 
speaks to us through people. For example, there 
have been times when I've been listening to 
someone preach or have been talking with a friend, 
and suddenly what he is saying addresses the 
situation I'm going through, even though he is 
completely unaware of my circumstances. It makes me 
realize that it is God Himself speaking to me 
through those individuals. 
   Maybe God has spoken to you through a 
pastor or a Christian friend. Or perhaps He has 
been speaking to you through circumstances. 
Listen carefully, and remember that He never will 
contradict His Word. [Every Day with Jesus by Greg 
Laurie]
