SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN

Judges 6:14 NLT Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!”

Do you ever find yourself making excuses as to why you can’t do something? Moses and Jonah were like that and so was Gideon! 

He was hiding from his enemies down in a wine press when the angel of God found him and told him what God wanted him to do. But in v.15 Gideon gives his excuses when he says he’s from the weakest tribe and he’s the least in his family. He was telling God He’d picked the wrong person! Moses said the same thing. Do we sometimes feel like that? 

“God I’m not the best candidate to do what you’ve asked. There are far more able people you could use!” But  God doesn’t make mistakes. He knows He has put in us whatever is necessary to do what He asks, and our part is to just say “Yes.”😊 

God’s reply to Gideon was “I will be with you”. He says the same thing to us. It doesn’t matter how weak or least we feel we are, when God is with us there is hope, there is courage, He has a plan and something is about to happen!

He tells you and me to go with the little bit of strength we do have and He will supply the rest. He will provide the strength, show us what to do, and provide whatever we need, but He will also give us the success He has already planned. Strength + Strategy + Supply = Success.😊 

We can be so encouraged today because God uses the weak and foolish things of this world to bring about His purposes. God doesn’t see us the way we see ourselves. He sees us as He has made us to be - mighty men and women of valour, as able to do the job because we’re not alone, God is with us indeed.

If we will cooperate and do as He tells us, then something is about to happen! Amen.😊
