WHO are we going to trust?
In WHAT are we going to trust?

GOD WILL OFTEN WEAKENS US WHEN HE WANTS TO USE US

Weakness is an advantage, not a disadvantage

Weakness forces us to lean on God
God is always faithful

Our strengths have the potential to keep us from thinking we need God

“It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply.” - AW Tozer

“God wants you to have something far better than riches and gold, and that is helpless dependence upon him.” - Hudson Taylor

Judges 7:15

GOD IS PATIENT WITH OUR WEAK FAITH

If you are able (Mark 9:22)
I do believe, help my unbelief (Mark 9:24)

Your doubt doesn’t disqualify you with Jesus

YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE A RISK

“I’m giving you just enough for your next step.”

Judges 7:19-20
