In the book of Judges, Israel had
turned their back on God and it was during this time that God
activated Gideon to rally the backslidden nation of Israel. Like his
fellow Israelites, he was just trying to survive and was not ready
to lead men into a war against Midian, but God had other plans for
him. It wasn't enough for Gideon to answer God's call; action was
required on his part and this forced him to step out of his comfort
zone. God changed how Gideon viewed himself and also helped conquer
the fear that gripped him so that he could walk in faith and partner
with God in the war against Satan that was physically being played
out all around him. In reading the Bible, we know that God helped
him raise an army, gave him a battle plan and brought confusion to
the Midianites. It was an impossible task but God helped Gideon
every step of the way and it is the same for Christians today. As we
approach the end times, God hasn't changed and is still calling men
and women into service to do the ordinary and the incredible. What
are you doing with your life? |
