Gideon Part 1 - Bridge

Strength is found in weakness, for it produces a dependency upon God. While Gideon was waiting on another, a Moses-like figure to deliver Israel, God was preparing Gideon to be His appointed tool of deliverance.

True courage comes from the promises and presence of God. Gideon’s fleece was his way of making sure who God really was, the true deliverer.

Instead of a fleece, we can boldly ask God to show us more of who He is and what He is already doing in our lives and world. Ultimately, we look to the Cross to see that God uses what the world would call weakness or defeat to achieve His glorious purposes.
