May 18: Evening

Let us not become conceited.

I was given a thorn in my flesh.

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Gal 5

And he (Gideon) said, “I do have one request, that each of you give me an earring from your share of the plunder.” (It was the custom of the Ishmaelites to wear gold earrings.) They answered, “We’ll be glad to give them.” So they spread out a garment, and each of them threw a ring from his plunder onto it … Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.
Jdgs 8
