Time will fail me if I go on to relate about Gideon.—Heb. 11:32.

 

Christian elders have been entrusted with the care of Jehovah’s precious sheep. These devoted men treasure their privilege to serve their brothers and sisters, and they work hard to be “shepherds who . . . really shepherd.” (Jer. 23:4;1 Pet. 5:2) How thankful we are to have such men in our congregations! Elders can learn from the example of Judge Gideon. (Heb. 6:12) He was both a protector and a shepherd of God’s people. (Judg. 2:16; 1 Chron. 17:6) Like Gideon, elders have been appointed to care for God’s people during a very turbulent time. (Acts 20:28;2 Tim. 3:1) We can learn from Gideon’s modesty, humility, and obedience. His endurance was tested as he carried out his assignments. Whether we serve as an elder or not, we can grow in appreciation for our elders. We can support these hardworking spiritual men.—Heb. 13:17. w23.06 2 ¶1; 3 ¶3

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
