The Unlikely In The Hands Of God

 11 And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. 13 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. 14 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? 15 And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.

Judges 6:11-15

Never allow pedigree, position or people to discourage or dictate that which God has called you to do. The least in our eyes can be powerful in the hands of the Living God. We need to watch our words and be watchful of our thoughts when it comes to another brother and sister in Christ. We too often look at the outside and discard those who don't meet our so called criteria. Who are we to strut around as if our thoughts and opinions have any merit when it comes to God's servants and the service that He has for them? Gideon would have been the subject of most of our scorn had we been alive at that time. The least would have known the ire of most of our wicked words. "Gideon?" we would have asked, "Gideon!" The Bible teaches us, Gideon indeed! Gideon indeed!

Dear friend as you seek the Lord's face for His will and work for your
life be excited and remember the words of the Lord to Jeremiah, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5.)

You may be asking, "Why does bro. Tracy seem to write on this same subject again and again?" It is dear to my heart because I was looked at as a fool when I would share with others what God had called me to do, but it brought me closer and nearer to my Lord! My faith was forged like steel in the fiery furnace of the doubtful words of many. Opposition will come, but move forward by faith and always give God the glory, knowing, "God is with thee."
