i was prompted by an email i recieved to read the story of Gideon again. a story most us will know really well. but it reminded me that God saw something in Gideon that he could not see himself. God called him a mighty warrior or in a another version a man of valour! which is cool especially in the context of where Gideon was, he was hiding from the midianites in the winepress. A scared man hiding away from the enemy and then the angel tells him he is a mighty warrior. every now then when fears creep in and we are tempted just to hide away and let history just go on without us, God has the ability to remind us of who he has called us to be. not just that but he reminds us who he is and that its not about our strength but its what he can do with a life dedicated to him.
i needed that reminder today!
