Judges 6-Gideon’s Call
Read Judges 6:12
Today’s Truth
Judges 6 introduces Gideon, a man who saw himself as weak and insignificant. Israel was under oppression from the Midianites, and when God called Gideon to deliver Israel, he doubted. He questioned God’s presence, asked for signs, and struggled with fear—yet God still chose him.
This passage reminds us that God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. Even when we feel weak, God sees who we can become through Him.
