—Judges 6:1-2, 7-16a
by: Trisha Gerstel.
Today’s Scripture reading focuses on the Lord’s call to Gideon, whom God would use to lead Israel in defeating the Midianites. While reading this account, we should be careful to note Gideon’s response. Just as Moses before him, Gideon asked questions—not because he was completely without faith, but because he was human. God’s response was one of a loving Father, reassuring Gideon and giving him the strength necessary for the task at hand. God will do the same for us when we bring Him our anxious hearts, asking for reassurance of His plan for our lives.
