All Gideon could see was a heart filled with fear and doubt, but God saw a mighty man of valour. This courage wasn’t within himself. It was given of the Lord.
Judges 6:12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we submit to God’s will for our lives.
God will never ask you to stand without first placing the courage and strength within your heart to do so.
