Just GO!

Judges 6:12-14

12 And xthe angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, y“The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” 13 And Gideon said to him, “Please, sir,1 if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are zall his wonderful deeds athat our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” 14 And the Lord2 turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; bdo not I send you?”

Ever feel like God is asking you to do something that you just don't think is possible?  It may be talking to the person beside you at work about Jesus or maybe you feel sometimes like He is asking you to be a missionary, pastor, or lead a Sunday school class.

Well imagine you are Gideon, and God asks you ( the weakest of all your brothers) to lead Israel to freedom from their enemies.  That's  exactly what happened though.  Gideon was perplexed to say the least, and started asking questions like,  "God, if you are really our God, then why are we in bondage in the first place."  I personally think he was trying to convince himself that this couldn't really be God speaking to him. ( Ever thought like that?) Look at verse 13 again and see if you agree.  Now what is interesting here, to me, is that God never really acknowledges Gideon's fears.  He just tells him to Go!  Why?  God knew His plan for Gideon. He knew He was in control.  All He needed Gideon to do to receive his power, blessings, ect.. was to be willing to GO!  See where I'm going with this?

If you feel the Lord telling you to do something, especially if it scares you to death....Don't worry you can be assured it's from God, and you can also be assured that to get where God wants you to be... All you have to do is be willing to GO!

God Bless!
