Gideon is amazing--or GOD is amazing...I love this!! Gideon is amazing--or GOD is amazing in how he uses little Gideon. What He sees and what Gideon feels are very different, but it doesn't matter because Gideon took Him at His word (after some messing around with fleece). <br />This is how we feel sometimes--God says He will reach every tribe, tongue and nation through US and build up His kingdom through us, his holy ones, His priests to the world. We're like, "us, holy? Ambassadors to the world? Undefeatable? Seated in heavenly places with all Jesus' authority on earth? Whaa??" But if we don't believe Him, we'll never live out our destiny. And if we do . . . who knows what He will do through us, like Gideon! So exciting!<br />Also I love that God doesn't give up on him when he is super pessimistic about himself and the whole situation. "Me, the least of the clan in the least of the tribes of Israel...*gripe gripe gripe*". God still picks him up and uses him. :)Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914074233191121323noreply@blogger.com
