Blow that Trumpet!

Judges 7:22 “When the three hundred trumpets sounded, the LORD caused the men throughout the camp to turn on each other with their swords.”

The battle begins! Gideon his armies smashed the jars. Then the light of the torches had been exposed. But it was when they sounded the trumpets that the Lord brought victory over the Midianite enemy. So blow that trumpet! Not your own trumpet however. A lot of people blow their own trumpet and while they like the sound it gives, it is definitely way off key for the rest of us!

Blow the trumpet of God! Look at how the Apostle Paul wrote it in the passage from 2 Corinthians that we have been looking at – “For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord.” The testimony and trumpet call that we sound is about Him, not us. In the midst of difficulty, the real and honest testimony about God is an awesome thing. God will speak through it to draw Christians and non-Christians alike.
