TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS STUDY
God fully knows you and the circumstances that you face.
God will only call you to complete a job that He knows that you can handle through His power.
You must go “in the strength that you have” – even if you don’t think that its enough.
Don’t expect people to support you when you step out in obedience to God.
Remember who sends you!
SCRIPTURES FOR TODAY
Judges 6:29-31 (NIV)
They asked each other, “Who did this?”
When they carefully investigated, they were told, “Gideon son of Joash did it.”
The people of the town demanded of Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has broken down Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
But Joash replied to the hostile crowd around him, “Are you going to plead Baal’s cause? Are you trying to save him? Whoever fights for him shall be put to death by morning! If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself when someone breaks down his altar.”
