The Strength We Have!
"Go in the strength you have and
save Israel out of Midian’s hand.
Am I not sending you?"
Judges 6: 14
Gideon was a young soldier whose
nation had been
battered into poverty by Midianites. He was defeated
in his spirit as he tried to hide in a winepress while
threshing enough grain to keep his family alive.
Suddenly the Lord appeared to him,
commissioning him to lead his nation
against Midian. “Go in the strength
you have,” the Lord told him.
Gideon didn’t feel he had much strength,
but he had enough to fulfill God’s will. And
that’s exactly how much strength you have.
Weakness
comes and goes, depending on illness,
age, and demands of life. But we are stronger than
we realize, for the Lord is our Strength and
Salvation.
He will always give us enough strength for what He
intends for you to do.
As we faithfully serve God, He gives us the strength
we need for the tasks He has placed in front of us.
So go in the strength we have.
"Do you need strength? Peace?
Wisdom? Direction? Discipline?
Ask for it! God will hear you."
