“So Gideon said to God, ‘If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said – look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.’ And it was so.“
There was a time in Israel’s history when they were immobilized by fear because of their enemies. God, however, had a plan for Israel’s enemies which included a guy who was threshing wheat. His name was Gideon, and he was convinced that God had called the wrong guy. But God chose Gideon because he was willing to trust in God & not his own ability.
If you fully trust in the Lord, if you believe that God can use you, if you are willing to take a step of faith, then God can do incredible things through you. One thing I have heard said over the years is that God is not looking for our ability but our availability. He is the One who causes our paths to prosper. God is simply looking for someone to say, “I would like to make a difference where I am. Lord, I am available.”
Have a blessed day,
