Gentle Pathways: Called Despite Inadequacy

Passage:

Judges 6:14-16 "The Lord turned to him and said, 'Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?' 'Pardon me, my lord,' Gideon replied, 'but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.' The Lord answered, 'I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.'"

Reflection Theme:

This devotional explores how God calls us to step forward in faith using whatever strength we currently have, while trusting that His presence transforms our inadequacies into victory.

Journaling Questions:

1. What "strength you have" might God be asking you to use, even though it feels insufficient?

2. How do you tend to disqualify yourself from God's calling?

3. How might your life change if you truly believed that God's presence with you is sufficient?
