*DAILY DEW 7TH/MARCH/2022* *Faith Series: The Courage of Gideon* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation."* (Psalms 85:6-7 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In order to appreciate the courage which Gideon displayed in trusting God it is necessary to read the whole of Judges chapters 6, 7 and 8:24-27. Notice the following:- 1. It takes a courageous faith to hear and obey the call of God. Think about this for a moment. Here was a timid, unknown young man threshing wheat, and suddenly the Lord called him to a very great service (Judges 6:11-12). Gideon felt utterly unfitted, unready and unworthy for such a task (see verse 15), and he told the Lord so; but the Lord only confirmed his call (see verse 16). From this moment on this timid young man had the courage and the faith to take God at His word and to go forth in His might (Verse 14). There have been many more recent examples of this very thing. Carey was engaged in mending shoes when God laid the burden of the unevangelised in India upon his heart and called him to take the gospel to them; Moody was a salesman in a shoe store when God called him to a world-shaking task of evangelism; and Livingstone was only a mill worker in the little village of Blantyre in Scotland, when God called him to open up a highway for the gospel in Africa. To answer God’s call demands a courageous faith. Is He calling you to some special task? _MEDITATION:_ *"And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?."* -- Judges 6:13-14 (KJV) *#Francis_Dixon* *#Monday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_March* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
