The book of Judges
introduces us to Gideon. Gideon, a man among the
Israelites, who had been punished by God for
their disobedience and evil, was hiding in a cave. The
people, while being punished by God were also attacked
and persecuted
by all of their neighbors. God directly tells Gideon
that he has been chosen by God to save his people. We
see Gideon’s angry
reaction to God, then questioning God about his ability to fulfill God’s
expectation and God’s plan for his life. Eventually, he
submits to God and His plan, conquering his and God’s enemies. God never
leaves Gideon. Like Gideon, many of us are called
by God to do courageous things in the face of great
challenges. Can we overcome our fears and doubts to be
all that God
asks us to be and to do? Can we follow Gideon’s example
knowing that God never leaves us and will fight for and
with us? |
