Gideon has a choice to make.
Stay hiding in the winepress or step out in faith.
Gideon had 2 things holding him back . . . . Cynicism [an inability to trust and believe in God or God's people] and Insecurity [an inability to believe in the value of himself].
The Lord is with YOU, Gideon.
Gideon, YOU will save Isreal.
I am sending YOU.
Go in the strength YOU have.
Yes, Gideon . . . YOU.
As christians today, we can look back through the bible and see many instances where God uses 'ordinaries'. Our insecurities make it very difficult for us to have faith that God could use 'little old me'.
We read and hear about great revivals through out history, but can't seem to comprehend that it could happen where we live. It isn't that we don't believe God is love, it's just we struggle with the fact that God loves US.
This was Gideons problem.
Love you X
