Within a short period after Joshua died, the amazing stories of God's miraculous provisions and protections died also.
It didn't happen on purpose, and it didn't happen quickly.
It was a slow fade that led to the people of Israel forgetting about their God.
We need to keep remembering and teaching these great stories to our children so that we don't forget our amazing God and how He delivers His people like He did with Gideon.
Gideon's army was outnumbered 450 to 1.
But these are the kind of odds God likes, so that it can't be explained any other way other than God!
