1 Corinthians 1:27
Takeaway: All the odds were stacked against Gideon and his people. The Midianites were oppressing them and they cried out to God. The Lord asked Gideon to deliver his people out the hands of Midian. But Gideon had such low self esteem. He replied, “But how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.”* *But in the eyes of God, He was a mighty warrior. God used Gideon and his men, just 300 of them, to wipe out 32,000 strong men from the Midianite camp. 300 men alone couldn’t do it. But the Lord could.
When the odds are not in your favour, don’t think that God has abandoned you. Your money, your success, and even people you thought were friends may disappear, but those wouldn’t win the battle anyway. Stand your ground and stay focused on the Lord. With everything else stripped away, you’ll be amazed at what your heavenly Father can achieve. Amen! (A message from Pastor Deepak)
