Serve as an Act of Obedience

In our society today, we place all of our emphasis on getting what we want, advancing above other people, and winning at all costs. What if the way we live every day is completely upside down? What if the right perspective is to recognize how small we are but also how privileged we are to play a part in something bigger than ourselves? Gideon was a man with deep insecurities, but God was calling him to rescue the Israelites from a terrifying enemy. With many excuses, Gideon explained to God that he was the wrong choice, but God patiently allayed his fears. Despite his doubt, Gideon walked forward in obedience. With each leap of faith, God proved Himself trustworthy and a man who appeared cowardly at the beginning grew into a mighty warrior. Gideon not only rescued a nation; he also inspired hope in everyone who feels inadequate. What is God calling you to do for Him or for His Kingdom? Your obedience will have a profound impact on many lives. Don’t miss it! Serve it up by believing and obeying God’s call on your life.
