Whenever the people cried to God toforgive them, He did. He even sent them helpers. Thesewere called Judges, godly men that were good generals inwar. Gideon was a judge. The people were suffering because the Midianites madewar on them again. One night Gideon took three hundred men, brave men!What did they take to fight with? Just imagine: trumpets,empty pitchers, or jars, and burning torches! But you see,God had promised He would frighten the enemies awayjust so. The Midianites have gone into camp for the night. Quietlycome Gideon and the three hundred. All of a sudden Gideonsmen shout: Tor the Lord and for Gideon! Then they pullthe burning torches from the pitchers and break the pitchersto pieces with a great crash. Then what? So frightened were the Midianites in the dark night thatthey even killed each other. The rest ran for their lives, andmany were drowned in the river. Once more God helped Israel out of much trouble. If they only had remembered Gods goodness, even then!Judges 7.

He had sevensons and three daughters. All the neighbors bowed to therich Job. All honored him. He was a good and godly man. God tried his heart by many sufferings. On a certain day, when he sat with his family, there camea servant and said: Your oxen were plowing. Then wildmen came and drove the oxen away and killed your servants.I only am left. While he spoke another came and told himthat robber bands had taken Jobs sheep and killed the shep-herds. Worse still, while this one spoke, another came andsaid: The lightning struck the house where your childrenwere, and killed them. Patient Job answered: The Lordgave. The Lord took. Blessed be His name. Then fearful sickness fell on Job. But he was patient.One day his wife tempted him, saying, Bid farewell to God.What is the use of serving God ? He only brings you suffer-
