Then the LORD turned to him and said, "Go with the strength you have and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!" "But Lord," Gideon replied, "how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!" (Judges.6.14-15 NLT)
Have you ever been given a task that is obviously beyond your ability? You are not alone. Gideon was in the same boat. By ranking; his clan was the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and he was the least in the entire family. So how would such a man think himself able to defeat an army of thousands?
God by his servants or by the eye of faith has given us snippets of what we can become. But at the time this knowledge comes to us, proportioning our destiny with the present strength does not give any balance.
What does it take to become the wealthiest worldwide? How about the best in your carrier or have the highest position in your workplace? Or the largest supplier of your line of products? Or be written in history as one mightily used by God?
Yet God is saying today: "Go with the strength you have." Yes in God go out! God is our strength. You realize when Gideon tried to build a large army, God reduced it.
Don't be intimidated by greatness or weighed down by your weakness. Go in the strength you have in God. With God, the impossible is made possible.
Hallelujah!
