What Does God Want You to Do?

Judges 7:2


2The Lord said to Gideon, "You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. In order that Israel may not boast against me that her own strength has saved her,

Simply put, God doesn't want to share His glory with anyone. Our God is a jealous God. When He does something, He wants everyone to know that it was by His hand and no other that a work was accomplished. Gideon was a man who preferred to be alone in his work. Gideon was not a trained fighter but God called him when the Israelites cried out after being oppressed by the Midianites. God chose Gideon because he wasn't a warrior. He was considered least likely to succeed. And though he was given a large army to fight with, the Lord said it couldn't be done that way. If there was a large army, then the credit would be given to the army and not God. God had Gideon reduce his army to only 300 men. God had given Gideon the privilege of hearing the interpretation of someone else's dream. It was meant for Gideon to hear so he could prepare for what the Lord had in store for him. In Gideon's case, it was victory. Have you seen a Gideon in your time? Are you the Gideon? Are you the one considered least likely to succeed? Or maybe you don't have great stature in the eyes of those around you but has God called you to do something great with His strength? If it is you, know that you are where you are because God wants to show everyone that He alone can do the impossible. No matter what it is and where you are, if God wants you to be there, he will make provision. God wanted the oppressed Israelites to overcome the Midianites because He heard their cry. What does God want you to do?
