Rescue, Part 1

Mustard Seed Thoughts

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?" "But Lord," Gideon asked, "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 together." Judges 6:14-16 NIV

In this series we will look at some of the issues God rescues us from in our life. Perhaps one of these is most needed in your life right now.

God rescues us from our own fear and weakness. Gideon was an unlikely candidate to lead an army into battle. He was a self-admitted weakling; yet God calls him a “Mighty Warrior”. God saw the potential for victory in Gideon; not his size or his lack of muscle tone.

God sees the same potential in you. If you are trusting in God and being obedient to His plan for your life, then you do not have to fear the world or those who get in your way. If God is for you, who can be against you?

The answer, as we learn from the story of Gideon…is NO ONE! Go in the strength of the Lord today! Ask Him to rescue you from your fear and weakness and give you victory!
