Judges 6:12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
In the eyes of mankind Gideon was a man of fear. He was threshing his wheat in the wine press because he thought the Midianites would see him and steal his wheat. How did God see him? In the above verse God calls him a valiant warrior.
God was looking at what HE will do through Gideon, and not at what Gideon can do with his own strength. The secret for your success over the spirit of fear is based on your focus. Do you focus on the situation around you, on your past failures, your lack of resources, or are you going to look to the Lord Who is your complete provider?
In the coming days God wants to use you in a far greater way than you thought possible. He does not look at your inability, but what He can do through you, if you’ll let Him. Trust Him to provide all the things needed to accomplish His goal for you.
