Mighty Hero,
The LORD
Is With You!
Scripture
Judges 6
12 The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!”
Observation
Take
a couple of minutes to read this amazing story in Judges 6-7!
When
the angel of the LORD said this to Gideon, Gideon was actually hiding from the Midianites. Gideon was down in the bottom of a winepress
threshing wheat where his enemies couldn’t see him.
When the angel of the LORD said to him, “Mighty
hero, the LORD is with you”, I think that Gideon must have thought that the
Lord was speaking to someone else.
What did it take for Gideon to become a “Mighty
hero”?
What will it take for you and me to become
“Mighty heroes”? Or we could ask this question: what was the key to Gideon’s
success?
Gideon’s amazing victories were only possible
because of his faith and his willingness to obey what God told him to do. God
wants to do mighty things in our lives too!
Faith + Obedience = Success!
Application
I
will pray and ask God to help me be a man of faith and obedience like Gideon.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I am a lot like the Gideon that was hiding from his enemies. I know
that You see more potential in me than I see in myself. Help me to be an
obedient warrior. Don’t let me be a coward. Don’t let me be a wimp. Help me to
be a man of faith and obedience. I want to be successful in this life in Your
eyes. I want to make You smile. Help me live out this day in a way that pleases
You. You are worthy of all praise!
