In all my years of ministry and life in the church, I do not think I remember anyone speaking on the unnamed prophet who prepared Israel for Gideon. This is a reminder to me that not all ministry, though it is vital, is remembered, or at least the people who do it are. In truth, most ministry done around the world is done by people whose names are never going to be remembered in this world. This doesn't mean they aren't important, but it is a reminder that if you are seeking earthly fame, then working for God isn't the route to go. However, in eternity, I will get the chance to meet this prophet and learn his name. More importantly, God knows his name, and that at the end of the day is what truly matters.
