Gideon was so brave, had an extremely high IQ, exhibited the qualities of a military genius, and demonstrated a magnetic personality. No, that would not be referring to the Gideon of the Old Testament. According to Hebrews 11, he only had one powerful asset and that was faith in what God said and even that took some time and experimentation. His story doesn’t even end well in the Old Testament account.
The only perfect person found in Scripture is the Lord Jesus Christ who gave Himself for all of us who lacked all those characteristics mentioned in the previous paragraph. It doesn’t take much faith to accomplish great things. The all-consuming quality God looks for in an individual is humility and a complete dependence on His power.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Why don’t you humble yourself, admit your need, and totally embrace Him as Lord and Savior?
Think about it.
