Gideon

DAY 6 OF 7

God uses the unlikely

Gideon’s army of 300 men defeated an army of thousands using nothing but torches, jars, and trumpets. This unconventional victory wasn’t achieved through strength or skill but through obedience and faith in God’s plan. Gideon’s story reminds us that God often uses the most unlikely people and methods to accomplish His purposes. He doesn’t rely on human strength or resources. Instead, He works through those who are willing to trust Him.

You may feel like you’re not enough – too ordinary, too flawed, or too weak. But those are exactly the kind of people God loves to use. When we step out in faith, He takes our small offerings and turns them into something extraordinary. He doesn’t need our perfection – just our willingness to trust Him with what we have. Remember, it’s not about what you have or don’t have – it’s about being willing to say yes to God. Trust Him to do the impossible through you. He can take your weakness and turn it into a victory that reveals His power and glory.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for using the unlikely to accomplish the extraordinary. Help me trust that You can work through me, no matter how small or unqualified I feel. Use my life to bring glory to Your name. Amen.

Gideon

“You might feel inadequate, but God calls you ‘mighty.’ You might feel overlooked, but God says, ‘I am with you.’ Gideon’s story reminds us that it’s not about who we think we are, but about who God says we are.” (Gideon – Heidi Wysman).
