Gideon is the judge chosen by God to defeat the oppressive Midianites (Judges 6-7), but God has some work to do on Gideon’s army before he sends it into battle. My mind immediately went to God, because this is exactly how he operates. In other words, the Grand Master had written “Good job!” on the board before Joel successfully broke it! Here’s the fascinating thing, though: the words were written across the break. It also had Joel’s name, the date, and the name of the Grand Master who, I assume, oversaw the accomplishment. The thing I noticed immediately was the the board, though split down the middle, had “Good job!” written on it. Her caption said “Joel the white belt.” Now, as proud as I am about my dear friend’s kid’s achievements, this wasn’t what drew my attention. It showed her son, wearing a gi, proudly holding up a broken board. The other day, a dear friend posted a photo on Instagram that piqued my interest immediately.
