Gideon made a sacred ephod from the gold from the battle, and soon they all were worshiping it. It became a trap for Gideon and his family. (Judges 8:27) The ephod was made as a reminder of a great victory, and yet it became a prideful snare. If I begin to think that my worth is by something I did for God in my past, then I will miss what God has for me today. Every day has opportunities for me to experience the greatness of my Savior and King.
