The Reassurance of the Lord

Scripture Judges 7:10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant,

Observation: In this passage God as told Gideon that He will deliver their enemy into their hands. You would think that would be enough that the Lord tells you something that we should believe and obey, but God understands how weak we are and wants us to be assure of His provision. He proved beforehand to Gideon that He would do what He said He would do by showing him first. He is God and always does what He claims to do, but still loves us so much wants us to know that He will accomplish all for His glory.

Application: I shouldn’t need God’s reassurance for all that He does I should never have a doubt if He calls me to a task I should just do it by faith. However I’m weak and lazy and a sinner and I doubt at times. I can’t count how many times God has reassured me before hand before I take on a task for Him. He is always with me and never lets me fail when I’m doing something for His glory.

Prayer: My Lord you have put Proverbs 3:5 & 6 on my heart, “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Do not lean on your own understanding, but in all of your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.” I believe oh Lord, help me with my unbelief.
