The story of Gideon (Judges 6:11-16) is a fascinating account of how the Lord used a regular guy to do an amazing work. Every person who feels weak and insignificant in the face of a struggle can get a "faith boost" from the story of Gideon. This opening scene introduces Gideon, who was working at the winepress for his father. Gideon probably did not have high aspirations in life, but simply to eventually take over his father's business and work the land. Gideon's outlook drastically changed when an angel visited him. The angel said some amazing things to Gideon, and Gideon seemed to think it was too good to be true. He came from a weak clan and was the least in his father's house. Gideon, like many other Israelites felt that God had deserted his people. Despite Gideon's unbelief, the Lord did not give up on him. Instead, the Lord restated that he would use him to deliver Israel. Gideon's testimony can encourage us in our faith. We may be looking at a situation with impossible odds and feel that there is no way that God will come through for us. We can stand on God's word in faith, believing that he will help us do the impossible because He is the God of the impossible! With God's Spirit living in us (1 Corinthians 6:19), we can stand confidently knowing that God is with us. "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10 If we're trying to break sex addiction, we can take courage that the Holy Spirit will empower us to put our lustful deeds of the flesh to death (Romans 8:11,13). We need not make excuses like Gideon did, saying, "I'm weak" or "I'm beyond forgiveness I've sinned so much" or "the temptations I face are too powerful for me." We can take a faith boost from Gideon. If he could single-handedly defeat a nation with the Lord, in Christ you can gain victory over whatever holds you.
