The angel of the LORD shows up and tells Gideon (who is threshing wheat in the bottom of a winepress because he's a chicken) that he's a mighty hero. Hah!
No, really. Even though it didn't seem like it presently, God knew how He would guide Gideon to lead an army into battle against the Midianites.
I think about my own life and how I'm just a kid from a farm in west Texas. I'm nobody special, but I feel a special call on my life. My friend Nate and I had a great conversation last night about service, and then Pastor taught about service this morning at Prayer Breakfast. I feel like the LORD is developing me to be a spiritual leader. Maybe He will make me a "mighty hero" like Gideon.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I humbly lay my life before you. I ask you to examine me; remove anything that you don't want, and add anything you do want. Father, mold me and make me into the man you want me to be. God, I pray that you would make me a spiritual leader of my family, local church, work, and beyond. Father, empower me to be an ambassador for Christ. I ask you this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
good one shane
