2 CORINTHIANS 4:7
GIDEON WAS AN Ordinary person. His story recorded in Judge 6, inspired me. He was a farmer, and a timid one at that. When God called him to deliver Israel from the Midianites. Gideon's initial response was "How can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family" (Judge 6:15). God promised that He would be with Gideon and that he would be able to accomplish what he had been asked to do (v. 16).Gideon's obedience brought victory to Israel, and he is listed as one of the great heroes of faith (Heb11:32).
Many other individual played a significant part in his plan to save the Israelites from a strong enemy force. God provided Gideon with 300 men, valiant heroes all, to win the battle. We are not told their names, but their bravery and obedience are recorded in the Scripture (Judge 7:5-23).
Today, God is still calling ordinary people to do His work and assuring us that He will be with us as we do. Because we are ordinary people being used by God, it's obvious that the power comes from God and not from us.
Lord I am just an ordinary person, but You are an all-knowing and powerful God
I want to serve You. God uses ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plan.
