Which Old Testament figure, known for his initial reluctance and requests for signs, ultimately led the Israelites to a miraculous victory over the Midianites?

Correct Answer

B) Gideon

Gideon was initially reluctant to accept God’s call, expressing doubt and asking for multiple signs, including the famous fleece tests (Judges 6:36-40). Despite his hesitations, God showed Gideon patience and mercy, equipping him to lead Israel to a miraculous victory over the Midianites with just 300 men. Gideon’s story illustrates how God extends grace and reassurance to those who doubt, aligning well with today’s theme of showing mercy to those who are uncertain.
