What is God's answer to Gideon's self-image? (6:16) Does this spiritual principle apply to our lives as Christians? Can you recall any New Testament passages that teach the same principle? What is an appropriate prayer to pray in light of what God has taught you from this passage?
God's answer is the same yesterday, today, and forever ..."I will be with you." He promises thoughout the bible to be with us. His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses. II Cor. 12:9
Jesus said, "without me, ye can do nothing." John 15:5
Great and mighty God, Father of all the earth, creator and lover of my soul, Your Word says You are with me always, even unto the end of the world. Lord, may I see through Your eyes and completely embrace the divine purpose You have placed on my life that I may glorify You. Help thou mine unbelief, Lord that I may walk in all that You have called me to do. Let not my own vision or that of the enemy rob me of the highest honor in this life. May I seek Your precious face and accept Your perfect will, purpose, and plan for my life. Your Word says You will complete the good work You've begun in me and that if I abide in You and You in me, together we can do anything, for nothing is impossible with God. Let me look to You for all things for You are my source and my strength. May my steps be ordered by the Lord and my thoughts be established according to Your Word, that I may do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. May my life be a living sacrifice unto You, for You are alone are worthy, Lord. Amen
