The Bible is full of stories about how God works in the lives of humans. Gideon's life is a classic example of how God can prepare us to be used in a significant way even when we are doubtful. Gideon had doubts that he could be useful in God’s plan. Like Moses he kept pushing back, making excuses, and questioning. Does that sound familiar? How often do we resist the will of God and make excuses? Once Gideon got over his doubt, he was used in ways that he probably never imagined. Using the example of how God worked with Gideon, know that you will be tested, but that God will empower you to face and overcome your battles.
