Daily Devotion - Wednesday - November 4

11/3/2020

Yesterday we looked at Gideon who was hiding in a pit threshing wheat.  He did this because he was fearful of the Midianites and did not want them finding him.  He then gets a Heavenly visitor who calls him a Strong Warrior and tells him to stand up to the Midianites- now Gideon may have thought he was calling him a worrier, because essentially this is what he was doing.  This visitor then told Gideon to “Go in the Strength that is yours”, again pointing out something that was not clear in the character of Gideon- especially to himself.  Gideon isn’t going for it because  his answer asks how can he, an Israelite, do this? He says Israel is weak and his clan is the weakest, then he points out that he is the RUNT of that group. In other words, send someone else. ”I’m not your Guy”. The response?  DO IT! Well, really, the response was “have I not sent you?” God often answers a question with another question. 

Ultimately, after a lot of questioning and testing God in this message, Gideon did do what he was told and he won! Do NOT let what others say about you or a poor self image limit what God has planned for you.  Remember who you are in Christ and trust Him when He says that you are more than enough!
