Formative Moments

When facing God's call, our hesitation often stems from a small view of God rather than the magnitude of the task. Gideon's journey teaches us three vital lessons about God's character: He deserves undivided loyalty and will not share His glory with idols; He is trustworthy and will protect those who obey Him; and He provides exactly what we need when we need it. God doesn't seek the strongest or bravest people—He draws near to the hesitant and uncertain, transforming them through a clearer vision of who He is. True confidence comes not from self-reliance but from knowing God's character.
