TRANSFORMATION - Part 2

Between Gideon's lack of confidence and his outnumbered army, there was plenty reason for him to doubt his abilities. Yet, we see God sends his Angel to shore up his weak spots. Gideon (like all of us) can do much more when we have the support. God's Word, and His Holy Spirit gives us and endless source of support. As we renew our minds, we gain new perspectives and wisdom from on high, to meet any challenge in our way.

Judges 6:12-16 (NIV)
12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior." 13 "But sir," Gideon replied, "if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, 'Did not the LORD bring us up out of Egypt?' But now the LORD has abandoned us and put us into the hand of Midian." 14 The LORD turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?" 15 "But Lord," Gideon asked, "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 together."
