Judges 6, 7
Gideon
God can use the unlikely to achieve the unbelievable
Judges 6:1 -7
We are quick to blame God for being in predicaments.
- It is usually our choices that have placed us in that place.
- So it was with Israel
6:14 - 18
'Go in the strength that you have'
When God calls us, he calls us as we are. With our weaknesses and inadequacies.
- This is what God calls us to do.
6:17
Ever felt a sense that the Lord is nudging, prompting, urging you to step or step up for Him?
We can have so many questions, excuses, doubts, reasons not to respond or obey.
6:25 - 30
What sort of wakeup call has the Lord given you to get your attention and to draw you back to Himself?
6:33 - 40
Gideon acted with authority.
6:36 - 40
Gideon needed further proof of God's presence.
We seem to need to do the fleece exercise.
God knows us well. If we really seek his reassurance, He will give us wjat we need to take at least the first step of obedience.
7:1-8
vs 2
It wasn't about Gideon. It was about God.
Gideon's manpower, reduced by 99%.
With God all things are possible
He doesn't need numbers. He needs obedience, comittment.
7:8 - 15
God knew Gideon and gave him further reassurrance.
He knows us. Knows what we need and how to give it.
vs7
A Transformed Gideon
Victory through an unlikely leader, with an unlikely army using unlikely weapons.
God can use the unlikely to achieve the unbelievable.
- Even you
- - to be His person
- - - to do His will
With God all things are possible
Judges 8:33 - 35
The next generation didn't know God.
1 Corinthians 1:26
God can still use the unlikely for His purposes.
