We had a wonderful message from Judges 6 today. Gideon's story has a special place in my heart. It has always been one of my favorites. When I am uncertain of what to do, I find that "putting out a fleece" is a great way to ask for guidance.
A big part of Gideon's calling relied on him being able to see past the man in the mirror and into the heart of a God who does not call us without providing a way. His strength... not ours... is the game changer.
"The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”" -Judges 6:14
We can go in the strength we have when God is sending us.
When we are overwhelmed by the assignment ahead, he goes before us, beside us, and carries us. He sees a "mighty warrior" where we see someone not strong enough, gifted enough, or experienced enough for the task.
Whatever the week brings, we do not go alone into the unknown. We are treasured children of the most High King.
Today, I am grateful God sees us differently.
