A
reminder for today
Then
the LORD turned to him and said, "Go with the strength you have, and
rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!" "But
Lord," Gideon replied, "how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the
weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire
family!" The LORD said to him, "I will be with you. And you will
destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man." (Judges 6:14-16)
I just love this initial conversation between Gideon and
the Lord. Gideon obviously shocked to his core with this statement from the
Lord that he must go and rescue Israel. Gideon’s reply is so typical to what we
would normally do when he says that his clan is the weakest and that he is the
least of his entire family and why would the Lord pick someone so simple to do
such an important and obvious impossible task. The Lord’s reply is just
awesome: "I will be with you. And
you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man."
My dear friend, how many times does the Lord bring
something across our path and we would just push it aside and believe that it
is impossible. God can take the weakest tribe and pick the least of them all and
make that person a hero that defeats an army as if he is fighting against one
man.
God wants you to stop thinking that you are not worthy.
He wants you to place your trust in Him and let Him destroy your challenges and
your impossibilities so that you will know He is the Lord and there is none
like Him. He can make you victorious even when faced with impossible odds.
Let the Lord take control in your life and watch as He
brings success over your journey in the most incredible of situations.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Amen!
ReplyDeleteHow easy it is to fall and to somehow find comfort between a rock and a hard place. It is in the time of struggle that I tend to wonder why I have to fight and complain and feel as if I am fighting a loosing battle. Why do I have to go through this again? Why is this person not hearing me? Why?
I don't hear/ignore to the voice of the Lord. I feel stuck. I don't even reach out to the Lord, even though I feel His presence. I feel like a looser, depressed and alone?
And then suddenly, the Holy Spirit presses so hard on my hart that I feel that I'm going to die. I'm reminded that I died with Jesus and that I'm fighting a battle beyond what I can see. I am content again, humbled again beyond words.
People will always disapoint me, but the Lord is always constant. The Lord is my rock and my salvation!
I am so thankful for my friend in faith who sometimes has to carry me and prays for me!!
No matter what, I will always love you God!
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
