"Go in the strength you have." Jdg 6:14 NIV
The Bible says: "When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, 'The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.' Pardon me, mu lord,' Gideon replied, 'but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us?'... The Lord turned to hum and said, 'Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Median's hand. Am I not sending you?' '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.' The Lord answered, 'I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive" (vv. 12-16 NIV). Do you feel fearful and inadequate? Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress (v. 11), afraid of the Midianites. Yet God called him a "mighty warrior." God sees things in you that others don't, that even you yourself don't! Read these words carefully: "I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure'" (Isa 46:9-10 NKJV). God sees things in their completed state—including your ultimate victory. And today He is saying to you, "Go in the strength you have...Am I not sending you?' When God sends you, your success is guaranteed in spite of all the obstacles, the enemies, and all the limitations you are so aware of. If you're unwilling to move until things "look better," you won't win. Start where you are and use what you have, then God will give you more.
