Gideon’s heart reassured, he builds an altar there unto Jehovah, and calls it JEHOVAH-SHALOM (Judg. 6:24²⁴Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. (Judges 6:24)).

And now he is prepared for service. He has been under God’s tutorage. He has learned where his strength is (he no longer says, “Wherewith shall I save Israel?”) and Jehovah has given him confidence to stand before Him. But where does He set him to work—with the Midianites? No, not in the least. He has to begin Jehovah’s work at home, with that which is nearest to himself.
