God chose to reveal his power to Gideon, who came from a poor family,by letting his army of 300 men defeat more than 100,000 at Midian. Gideon followed the Lord's instruction to have his men approach the town with their torches hidden in pitchers. The people of Midian were so startled when the pitchers were broken and the soldiers made themselves known, that many began fighting amongst themselves. The pitcher ornament reminds us of how Gideon became an unlikely leader and judge, helping his people cast aside false gods and obey God's true laws. Read judges 7 for more details.
