Judges 6:14-16 "But Lord", Gideon replied, "how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!" The Lord said to him "I will be with you....."
During Co-vid lock-down I felt the Lord tell me to compile a book with some of my blogs in it so after hours of work I completed it only to find the software I'd used was so out of date it wasn't much use! So I've had to start again and this past week I've been struggling to learn some new computer software. It's been so hard I've wanted to give up many times and throw it out the window...and it's made me very grumpy!!😊
I thought why go to all this bother, nobody knows me, why would anyone be interested in reading it anyway!? I just felt God had chosen the wrong person! I discounted myself. I wonder if you've ever done that too? You've felt like God has asked you to do something and you've come up with the "But Lord..." just like Gideon. We can find so many reasons why we're the least of the least, why there must be someone better qualified, better educated, better looking, younger!😊
If God wants it done and He's asked you to do it then we don't need to know why but just to do it with His help and leave the details to Him because He says the same thing to you and me as to Gideon "I will be with you."
So don't write yourself off and don't write anyone else off either! God can reach out and reach down to anybody and everybody and He might be wanting to use you.
So be encouraged today and know that God doesn't see you as the least, He sees you as a Holy Spirit filled Believer, a child of God with the wisdom of God inside you to do whatever He's asked you to do and be a blessing. You can do it!
