2 Corinthians 12:9
Have you ever felt too small or too scared to answer God’s call? Gideon surely did. Hiding from his enemies—and perhaps from himself—Gideon is called “mighty warrior” by God. It’s a name that seems laughable given his fear. Yet, God sees beyond Gideon’s trembling spirit to the strength He would provide. God’s power meets us exactly where our weakness lives, turning our trembling steps into a march of faith. When fear tells you that you’re not enough, remember how God called Gideon. His grace fills the gaps we cannot. Our limitations are not obstacles to God—they’re opportunities for Him to display His strength. Today, dare to believe the name God gives you. Step out from your hiding place, trusting that His power will meet you there.
