(Gideon’s Story)
📜 DEVOTIONAL READING: Judges 6:15
💭 REFLECTION
Have you ever felt too small, too weak, or too unqualified to make a difference?
Gideon certainly did – he saw his lowly status as an impossible barrier. But time and again, Scripture shows us that God doesn’t pick those the world considers “qualified” – He chooses ordinary people to do extraordinary things through His power!
Additional Scriptures:
– 📖 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 – “But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong…”
– 📖 Exodus 3:11 – “But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?'”
– 📖 Luke 1:48 – “For he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;”
