The greatest thing that we can learn from Gid'on is that his faith was able to turn weakness into strength. When we first encounter Gid'on, he does not come across as a man of faith. He sounds like he doubts G-d’s ability to deliver Israel from the Midianites, does not consider himself a mighty man of valor, and seeks confirmation over and over again from Adonai about the mission being assigned to him. Yet, he is listed in this Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11. I believe his story will help each of us activate our faith so that we can turn our weaknesses into strengths as well. In doing so, we, like Gid'on, will be able to route the enemy from our lives, our family, and our community.

NOTE: The first part of the message was not recorded.Every day we are faced with obstacles to our faith in G-d and His promises for our lives. It is easy to become discouraged and overwhelmed by life causing us to wonder if G-d will ever fulfill His word in our situation. Like Avraham, we must have faith that hopes against the odds because our G-d is greater! We must exercise our faith in the same way as Avraham keeping our focus on the G-d who is able to do more than we could imagine or think. As we live by faith, G-d will move in our lives fulfilling the promise that He has made.
