"He Has A Calling For You"

This year has definitely been one for the books. It has been a year of unknown and fear and pain, but there is a God. There is a God that sits on the throne that is willing and wanting to help you. In the book of Judges, chapter 6 tells of a man named Gideon. Gideon is in the field threshing wheat with His father when an angel appears. The angel says, "... The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor." (Judges 6:12, KJV) His first reply is, "... if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Mid-i-an-ites." (Judges 6:13, KJV) It seems as Gideon was frightened. The children of Israel had sinned against God and had done wrong in His sight. Gideon was confused and wondering why God had let them down. Gideon goes on to say, he is the least out of everyone in his house. He thought he did not have anything to offer. Gideon did not think he was great for the task the Lord was wanting.

God knew what He had in store for Gideon was mighty, so He sent His angel to let Him know that He was with Gideon. God tells Gideon He has helped them this far, why would He stop now. The most high God called Him mighty, a man of valor.

He has a calling for you. He can call you at the most simplest times, we must be ready. Gideon was called in the field working. His disciples were called as they were fishing and going about their daily lives.

He is a big God, but if He gives you a task, you are never too small for it.

God equips the called, He does not call the equipped. He will give you what you need for His duties. We never have to worry or fear, because He keeps His promises.

This world goes through strife and trials, but God said that once we decided to follow Him, He would never leave us nor forsake us. We are securely and forever in Him. My prayer is if you do not know Him, that you would open your heart and receive Him as your Savior before it is too late.
