Judges 6:14

       “Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” Humility is an instrument that God can work with. Gideon wasn’t being told to go in the flesh to save Israel, but in his humility, and that the Lord was with him and that the Lord was the one sending him. Gideon was probably the only one who humbled himself under the hand of God. He looked around at what was going on, knowing what he knew about God, and he questioned why God had let the enemy take over. When things go wrong, don’t look around and ask why; look up and say, ‘God, I know you’re up to something good, what is it?’ If you look at the bad, that’s all you will see, but with a humble heart and proper perspective, God shows up and the question is answered. I’ve been there and I can tell you that God worked out His plan and used my wife and I in the process. Next time things are looking bad, look to God; you will see the good that comes out of it.
