Judges 6:15 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” 16 The LORD answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.”
God tasked Gideon to save Israel, however, when Gideon was requested, Gideon began to make excuses as to why he couldn’t save Israel. The solution to Gideon’s excuses was the comfort in knowing God will be with him. Eventually, Gideon obeyed God and defeated the Midianites.
This magnifies Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5 which ultimately says, God will never leave us nor forsake us. Knowing that God is with us helps us to summon the courage to do whatever God has called us to do.
At times, it may seem a little scary to step out on faith and do what God has called us to do. We may not think we have enough money to complete the task, we may think we don’t have the education, or the task itself may appear too daunting, but when we have the assurance of God being with us, the outcome is guaranteed victory.
Praise God for His presence!
Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
