Our question for today comes from Judges 6:15:
“How can I save Israel?”
When he looked at himself, Gideon didn’t see a warrior. He saw a farmer from a small family, hiding in fear, hoping life would just leave him alone. Then came the call. God tapped him on the shoulder and called him “mighty warrior.”
Mighty? Him?
Gideon’s question makes perfect sense: “How can I save Israel?” Translation: “You’ve got the wrong guy.” But God hadn’t. God never does.
He doesn’t call the ready. He readies the called. He doesn’t scan for the strongest. He looks for the willing. That’s all Gideon had—an unsure heart and a mustard seed of faith. And that was enough.
God said, “I will be with you.” Not “You’ve got this,” but “We’ve got this.” That changes everything. The same God who stood with Gideon stands with you. Maybe you’re staring down a challenge, wondering, “How can I possibly do this?”
You can’t. Not alone. But you’re not alone.
When God is with you, weakness becomes strength, fear becomes courage, and small things become sacred.
So don’t back away. Step forward. Trust His voice more than your fear.
You’ll hear Him whisper: “Mighty warrior, I am with you.”
