It’s a book rich with spiritual insight, historical context, and personal reassurance.

Reading Judges reminds us that God’s plans are for our good and will ultimately succeed, amidst all the challenges we face.

Bible Verse
“And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, ‘The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor.'” (Judges 6:12, NKJV)
Meaning
The book of Judges tells the cycle of disobedience, bondage, repentance, and deliverance of the Israelites. In Judges 6:12, Gideon, the Israelite whom the Lord speaks to, is called a “mighty man of valor”. Interestingly, at that moment Gideon didn’t feel mighty or valorous. He was hiding, afraid for his life, yet God saw beyond his fear. He saw Gideon’s potential and his courageous heart.
Our focus verse illustrates that God sees more in us than we see in ourselves. He sees us not just for who we are but who we can become – with His help. The Lord’s message to Gideon assures us that even when we feel weak, insignificant, or fearful, God sees our underlying strength, potential and worth.
Actions to Take
1. Reflect on moments when you faced fear or doubt. Ask yourself, what potential did God see in you in those moments?
2. Recognize that your fear and uncertainty doesn’t disqualify you from God’s calling. Push through with courage, knowing He is with you.
3. Daily, pray for discernment to see yourself as God sees you – as a man or woman of valor.
4. Identify one area where you can exercise courage today.
5. Continue studying the Bible and seeking God’s wisdom and guidance in your life.
