In this study, Josh goes through Judges 6:1-24 with the topic of How God Views Us. Josh goes through the introduction of the next judge, Gideon. Gideon’s life did not start off with faith and courage; he was discouraged and defeated, but the Lord saw in him a mighty man of valor and promised Gideon that he would be with him and promised victory. Gideon did not see, feel, or believe this about himself; he saw himself as the weakest and the lowest.
Most times we don’t see ourselves the way God sees us and can’t believe fully that what he says is true because we are blinded by our own thoughts and critiques. We see our own weaknesses and doubt that the Lord can use us, but the Lord sees us as capable through his power. Who is to say that God can’t turn those weaknesses into strengths?
