"And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, ‘The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor’" (Judges 6:12, ESV).
In scripture, God called Gideon a mighty man of
fearless courage. Now Gideon looked around and said, "God couldn't be talking
about me. I come from the poorest family. I'm the least one in my father's
house." Gideon saw himself as weak, defeated, and not able. But God saw him as
strong, confident, and being more than a conqueror.
The question is are we going to believe what God says about us, or are we going
to believe what we feel, what we think, or what the circumstances look like? You
may feel weak today, but God calls you strong. You may feel like a victim, but
God calls you a victor. You may be afraid, but God calls you confident. You may
be in debt, God calls you prosperous. You may be sick, God calls you well. You
may be addicted, God calls you free. You may feel inadequate, but God calls you
well able.
Today, get into agreement with God. No matter what the circumstances look like,
you’ve got to dig your heels in and say, "God, I agree with what You call me.
I’m free, forgiven and healed in Jesus’ Name!”
Father God, thank You for loving me and calling me Your own. I choose to receive Your Word which is life, health and strength to me. Fill me with Your peace and wisdom. I set my thoughts on You.” In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
