102 | [Series] Gideon’s Struggle with Self-Doubt - Lessons from the Bible’s Most Reluctant Leaders - Part 2
Did you know that Gideon really struggled with self-doubt? So much so, that he actually hid from God.
He didn't believe he was worthy to do the job that God called him to do and he had ALL SORTS of excuses as to why God should not choose him.
God’s response to Gideon pushing back isn’t about who Gideon is; it’s about who God is.
Maybe today, you’re waiting for a sign. Maybe you need confirmation that God has really called you to lead, to speak, to step up in faith. Let Gideon’s story remind you—God is patient with our doubts.
So, what can we learn from Gideon?
1. God sees more in you than you see in yourself.
2. God is patient with your doubts.
3. Victory doesn’t depend on your strength—it depends on God’s power.
Let's reflect:
I want to challenge you this week—pray about your fears, your doubts, and your insecurities. And then, take a step forward. Even if it’s small, even if you’re unsure—trust that God is with you, just as He was with Gideon.
