Summary: In our Bible Reading today, we learn about Gideon. God chose him to be a leader of the Israelites.<br> But Gideon was not sure that he would be a good leader. He asked the angel of the Lord, <em>How can I save Israel? My family group is the weakest in the tribe of Manasseh, and I am the youngest one in my family</em> (verse 15b). Gideon even asked God two times to give him proof that He would be with him.<br> Finally, Gideon decided to serve God, and he faithfully led the Israelite army to defeat the Midianites. Gideon is even mentioned in Hebrews, chapter 11, as a man of faith. Sometimes I feel like Gideon. I am quiet and shy. I do not think that God can use me to be His servant. But God can make even the weakest person successful.<br> The Bible tells us about many people who served God even though they thought they were not good enough to be Gods servant. God has used me, and He can use you, too. Submit to Him and become His servant today!
