What Does Judges 6:28 Mean?
Morning comes, and the deed cannot be hidden. The men of the city rise early to find Baal's altar cast down, the sacred pole cut to the ground, and a new altar standing with a sacrifice offered upon it. What was done by night is exposed in the light of day.
Faithful acts done quietly do not stay hidden; God brings them into the open in His own time. The empty space where Baal stood now bears witness to the living God. Often the works we do in fear and secrecy are the ones the Lord uses most publicly. What Gideon dared in darkness becomes, by morning, a testimony the whole town must reckon with.
