This is the final lesson in our series on Gideon. He was a hero of faith (Hebrews 11:32) who helped deliver the Israelites from the Midianites. Yet he certainly had his faults. In this lesson, we will see how he was an illustration of the wise man’s warning: “Pride goes before destruction” (Proverbs 16:18). For all of the good things Gideon did, he later allowed himself to be puffed up with pride, which led him to do things he should not have done. This is a warning for us because we can do the same.
