Judges 6, Luke 22:54-23:12, Psalms 95:1-96:13, Proverbs 14:5-6
What God said to me – Kodi Lee was a blind autistic boy who got a golden buzzer on America’s Got Talent and went on to have a successful music career all because his mother saw past his obvious limitations to his talent and ability and signed him up for an audition. When I called Gideon to deliver Israel, he was hiding in a winepress beating out wheat because of fear of his oppressors, yet I addressed him as “valiant warrior”. I saw him not only for who he was, but also for who I had called him to be. The first task I gave him was to tear down his father’s altar to Baal and to destroy the Asherah idol and to build and altar to Me and make a sacrifice – this “valiant warrior” snuck out at night to do it because he was afraid of his family and of the townspeople. I called him to lead an army in battle to deliver Israel, and he laid out two different fleeces for assurance. When I call you to a task or to a ministry don’t be afraid or think you are not capable – I would never call you and fail to equip you. I would not call you for the task if you were not able. I see you, not just for who you are, but I see you for who I died for you to become. Trust My call. Trust My provision. Trust My plan.
