Judges 6:1-40Luke 22:54-23:12
Psalm 95:1-96:13
Proverbs 14:5-6
Judges 6: 15 "But Lord ," Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family." 16 The LORD answered, "I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together."
I love this text. Gideon is a self-proclaimed weakling and unable to accomplish the task of destroying the armies against him. And yet, God calls Gideon a warrior and shows him that through obedience, Gideon will accomplish amazing deeds. The question becomes, "Do we trust God?" Don't we realize that it isn't by our power or abilities that the Lord saves his people, but by his power! God has called us to trust him, even when the odds are against us. Even when we don't know what will happen next and aren't sure if we can do it... we can trust that HE can do it. So, Gideon stands as a reminder. God will be with us if we are with him! Trust in the Lord.
