This week, Pastor Jesse continues through the life of Gideon in chapters 7 & 8 of Judges – a tale that resonates deeply with our own struggles and triumphs. As we witness Gideon’s journey from fearful hiding to victorious leadership, we’re reminded that God often chooses the weak to confound the strong. The imagery of the barley loaf overcoming a mighty army serves as a poignant reminder that our perceived inadequacies are no match for God’s power working through us. This message challenges us to embrace our role as ‘barley loaves’ in God’s hands, trusting that He can use our humble offerings to achieve miraculous results. As we navigate our own challenges in this world, we’re encouraged to worship our way through them, allowing our faith to replace fear. This story invites us to reflect on where we might be seeking credit or comfort instead of giving glory to God, urging us to remain dependent on Him even in our victories.
