The account of Gideon is detailed and unfortunately can often parallel our own.  We find Gideon struggling to live out his faith.  As we study his life we can find many points of application that are valid for our own life.  God’s desire is that we strive to have homes that are spiritually strong and stable.  We will see Gideon’s life does not match this description, but still gives us challenge to evaluate our own life.
