From The Bible
By Jerry Kingery
Three hundred chosen
Then Jerubbaal, who is
Gideon, and all the people
that were with him, rose up
early, and pitched beside
the well of Harod: so that
the host of the Midianites
were on the north side of
them, by the hill of Moreh,
in the valley. And the
LORD said unto Gideon,
The people that are with
thee are too many for me
to give the Midianites into
their hands, lest Israel
vaunt themselves against
me, saying, Mine own
hand hath saved me. Now
therefore go to, proclaim in
the ears of the people, say
ing, Whosoever is fearful
and afraid, let him return
and depart early from
mount Gilead. And there
returned of the people
twenty and two thousand;
and there remained ten
thousand. And the LORD
said unto Gideon, The
people are yet too many;
bring them down unto the
water, and I will try them
for thee there: and it shall
be, that of whom I say unto
thee, This shall go with
thee, the same shall go
with thee; and of whomso
ever I say unto thee, This
shall not go with thee, the
same shall not go. So he
brought down the people
unto the water: and the
LORD said unto Gideon,
Every one that lappeth of
the water with his tongue,
as a dog lappeth, him shalt
thou set by himself; like
wise every one that boweth
down upon his knees to
drink. And the number of
them that lapped, put
ting their hand to their
mouth, were three hundred
men: but all the rest of
the people bowed down
upon their knees to drink
water. And the LORD said
unto Gideon, By the three
hundred men that lapped
will I save you, and deliver
the Midianites into thine
hand: and let all the other
people go every man unto
his place. So the people
took victuals in their hand,
and their trumpets: and he
sent all the rest of Israel
every man unto his tent,
and retained those three
hundred men: and the host
of Midian was beneath him
in the valley.
And it came to pass the
same night, that the LORD
said unto him, Arise, get
thee down unto the host;
for I have delivered it into
thine hand. But if thou fear
to go down, go thou with
Phurah thy servant down
to the host: And thou shalt
hear what they say; and
afterward shall thine hands
be strengthened to go
down unto the host. Then
went he down with Phurah
his servant unto the outside
of the armed men that
were in the host. And the

lekites and all the children
of the east lay along in
the valley like grasshop
pers for multitude; and
their camels were without
number, as the sand by the
sea side for multitude. And
when Gideon was come,
behold, there was a man
that told a dream unto his
fellow, and said, Behold,
I dreamed a dream, and,
lo, a cake of barley bread
tumbled into the host of
Midian, and came unto a
tent, and smote it that it
fell, and overturned it, that
the tent lay along. And his
fellow answered and said,
This is nothing else save
the sword of Gideon the
son of Joash, a man of Is
rael: for into his hand hath
God delivered Midian, and
all the host. And it was so,
when Gideon heard the
telling of the dream, and
the interpretation thereof,
that he worshipped, and
returned into the host of
Israel, and said, Arise; for
the LORD hath delivered
into your hand the host of
Midian.

Ticks,
from page 3B
They prefer inaccessible
places such as the groin or
under the arms. After time
outdoors, take a shower and
wash your hair. However,
showers only will remove
ticks that aren’t yet attached
to your skin.
* Shoes should be careful
ly examined or left outside
the door. Examine them
again before putting them
back on.
* Consider spraying outer
clothing and exposed skin
(not the face, however) with
a tick repellent containing
Deet or the pesticide, per-
methrin. You can find such
products at your drugstore or
supermarket.
Ticks prefer shaded,
protected, moist locations,
and even can be found on
outdoor seating. With this
in mind, there things you
can do to reduce the number
of ticks in your yard and
around your home. Bean
advises:
* Keep grass cut and
shrubs trimmed. Remove
brush and leaf piles. Keep
woodpiles away from play
areas.
* Lise woodchips around
recreation areas and as a
barrier between yard and
woods.
* Avoid sitting on tree
stumps, wooden park
benches and stone walls.
* Be aware that kneeling
amid foliage while garden
ing exposes your head and
neck to ticks.
* Remember that pets may
bring ticks into your home.

don’t panic. Remove it and

One word of warning
though, we need to make
sure we all suffer for the
right reasons. Notice that
the Beatitude doesn’t say,
“Blessed are the persecuted’’,
period. Jesus’ words must
be read in their entirety.
“Blessed are those who are
persecuted because of righ
teousness and for My sake.’’
Sadly Christians are very
often persecuted not for their

taking a preventive course of
antibiotics,’’ said Bean. “Re
member not all ticks carry
Lyme disease and, if caught
early, Lyme disease usually
can be cured quickly.’’
For more information on
avoiding tick bites, recogniz
ing symptoms, and learning
how to treat and cope with
Lyme disease, speak with
your family doctor or read
the new book, “Beating
Lyme,’’ written by Bean with
Dr. Lesley Ann Fein.
Christianity but for their
lack of it. Some Christians
do not know the difference
between being offensive and
the “offense of the cross’’ as
Paul speaks of in Galatians
5:1.
I want to close with a quote
by John MacArthur, “suf
fering persecution is part of
the normal Christian life.
If we never experience ridi
cule, criticism, or rejection
because of our faith, we have
reason to examine the genui-
ness of it.’’
