Judges 6:12;14 (ESV): 12 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor…14 And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?”
The Lord can use anyone. He can take the weakest vessels and make them mighty in His name. May we never look to our natural abilities to fulfill the call of God. He will equip us supernaturally to accomplish His will.
When the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord He gave them into the hands of the Midianites. When the people cried out for help the Lord called upon Gideon to deliver them. He was from the weakest clan and family within the tribe of Manasseh. As reluctant as Gideon was, he answered the call and God delivered the nation of Israel through him. Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.
Are you walking in the calling of God? Have you allowed your natural abilities to get in the way of what God is calling you to do? Stop focusing on yourself and trust the Lord. He equips the called. If you can trust God for your salvation you can trust Him for equipping. Walk by faith Christian and depend on the Lord for the tools you need to do your job. He will never fail you. Trust Him and walk in your calling. Amen?
Father, we thank You for calling us to be instruments in Your mighty hand. May we step into the call and walk with total dependence upon You. May Your Spirit equip us for the task at hand we pray in Jesus’ name, amen.
