God is Enough

God approached Gideon about becoming a warrior and becoming a leader of the Israelite army to defeat the Midianites. Gideon was a fearful man – but God looks at us as what we can be, not for what we are. Gideon began to make excuses as to why he wasn’t a good candidate for the job. God’s response: ‘Have I not sent you? Surely, I will be with you.’ What else do we need to know? We have no excuse for what God has asked us to do. If God has called you to do something, it doesn’t matter what the odds are from a human perspective. No challenge is too great for God. In fact, God loves to put us in situations where we are in way over our heads. That way, when God pulls it off, He gets the glory. Gideon knew that God was the hero of this story. Gideon was just the human instrument God used to accomplish His purposes.”
