Where Are All the Miracles? 🤔💭
We started talking about Gideon and how his insecurities held him back from seeing who God called him to be. Let's see what happens when you begin to question that call.
After the Angel calls Gideon a "mighty warrior," Gideon doesn't just say "Who, me?"
He gets a little salty. He asks, "If the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders that our ancestors told us about?" (Judges 6:13).
Gideon was cynical.
He was tired of hearing "storytime" about what God used to do while he was currently living in a mess. He felt abandoned, and he wasn't afraid to tell God about it.
Cynicism is just a protective layer we put over our disappointment.
We see others getting the breakthrough and think, "Must be nice, but that doesn't happen for people like me."
We hear a sermon about God's provision while we're staring at a stack of bills.
We look at our "Ashes" and have a hard time believing "Beauty" is even possible anymore.
Gideon shows us that God can handle our honest, cynical questions. He didn't strike Gideon down for being skeptical; He answered him with a mission.
Your questions don't scare God, and your cynicism doesn't disqualify you. Sometimes the person with the most questions is the one God is preparing for the biggest assignment.
Have you ever had a moment where you looked at your situation and asked, "God, where are the miracles I keep hearing about?" How did you keep going in that season? Let's keep it real in the comments. 👇
