I really found TW workbook week 8 intro spoke to my heart. Reading the story of Gideon and insights into that story, hit me in a new way.
"The Lord is with you, mighty warrior" Judges 6:12
I find it quite amazing that God called Gideon a "mighty warrior" when he was cowering and hiding from God. That encourages me. I tend to feel anything but a mighty warrior, but I know that in God's strength alone I am just that! Amazing!
I was also moved by this verse,
"I will wait until you return." Judges 6:18b
God waits for me! I can feel that to the core of my being time and again. I know He is just waiting for me with open arms. So why on earth do I make Him wait?! It's crazy!
And finally, I really appreciated this statement in the workbook,
"You may have 'blown it' a moment ago, but this moment is new." pg 49
More about THAT in my next post..... :-)
