Episode 302 - When You Feel Too Small

When God called Gideon to deliver Israel, Gideon immediately listed the reasons he was unqualified. He said in Judges 6:15, “My family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” Gideon saw weakness, insignificance, and everything he lacked.But God answered, “Surely I will be with thee.” The victory would not depend upon Gideon being impressive; it would depend upon God being present. With only three hundred men, Gideon watched the Lord defeat an army he could never have conquered alone.You may feel too small for the responsibility before you, but God does not need your greatness. He desires your faith and obedience. Stop measuring the assignment by your ability, and begin measuring it by the God who has promised to be with you.
