Me,Lord?

Understanding Your Worth and Value

Week Two – God Has Plan for Your Life

Day Four

                                                   Me, Lord?

Do you have a dream for your life?  If you could do anything what would it be?

You have talents no one else does.

The God who created you didn’t say, “I’m an awesome God .There’s none beside me and I’ve made you to

be mediocre.”

“No”, He declared. ”You’re fearfully and wonderfully made! You’re My master piece. I do all things well.”

When God gives you a dream—go for it!

But the devil doesn’t want you to believe. He shouts in your ear, “You can’t do that. Get back in your little box. You’re just a dreamer!”

A true story

Gideon was scared so he threshed the wheat in a wine press. There the Midianites wouldn’t see him. He could

hide and the enemy couldn’t steal his wheat. His family wouldn‘t starve.

But God saw. And God loved Gideon. God had a great plan. Trouble was—Gideon only laughed at such a hope.

One day while Gideon was working, the Angel of the

Lord showed up.

“Gideon, who are you hiding from?”

“Well, Lord don’t you know? The Midianites have ransacked our land and taken every bit of wheat we produce.  We have no life.”

“Well, Gideon, I want YOU to do something about this.

“Me, Lord?”

“You’re a mighty man.”

 “I’m just a farm boy working for my father. I haven’t done anything mighty.”

“No, you haven’t …but you will! You’re going to be a four star general in my army.”

“You’re kidding. Me?”

“Yes, YOU! I don’t kid or tease you. I can only speak the truth. You’re mighty! I’m going to help you defeat

the Midianites.”

Gideon argued—God won.  When Gideon obeyed it happened just like God said.

The Midianites were totally defeated and Gideon became a great judge for Israel.  

The Lord doesn’t want you to be timid and fearful. He has big plans which He has placed inside you. The choice—is YOURS!

Dear Lord, Help me believe and follow the dream you have given me.
