Gideon teaches us that there is always hope that we can still turn back to the LORD when we are disobedient. When we do something wrong in our lives all we have to do is get down on our knees and tell the Heavenly Father, the LORD God, that we have been disobedient and we are sorry and ask for forgiveness.
