Scripture

Judges 6

11 The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior."

Observation

It is obvious that God sees more in the life of Gideon than Gideon sees himself. Gideon was hiding in a winepress threshing wheat when God called him a mighty warrior! I am sure that Gideon thought that he must have been dreaming. I am sure that he didn’t feel like a mighty warrior. He was hiding.

God sees our potential. He tries to get us to see it. He wants us to be mighty warriors and not wimps. He wants us to be living sacrifices for Him. He wants us to trust Him 100% and He wants us engaged in battle.

What do you say? Are you up to the challenge? Are you ready to be a mighty warrior? It took quite a bit of convincing for Gideon to be the mighty warrior that God saw him to be, but he finally came around. His life wasn’t perfect, but it was good enough to get into the hall of faith chapter in Hebrews 11. So he did pretty well.

How are you doing in this life of faith? How am I doing?

Application

God has called me to be a mighty warrior. I will not retreat. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, show me the battlefield for today. I am ready to be a mighty warrior for You. Give me the energy and the desire to battle for You today.
