SCRIPTURE
And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour ( Judges 6:12).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
If you recall the story of Gideon for a moment, he was in a time when he was seeing the dire circumstances all around him and wondered why God let so many bad things happen. Yet the angel that appeared to him did not acknowledge Gideon’s perspective. He simply told Gideon to rise up as a man of valor and take action. Gideon still struggled to see himself with the ability to do anything, but ended up being the very person used to deliver Israel. Sometimes we see our abilities as limited and don’t feel we can rise from the daunting challenges surrounding us, but God wants you to see yourself today as the warrior He has made you! Changes begin when we look inside, and despite the current circumstances we grit our teeth and declare, “Rise up mighty warrior!”
