Your weakness might be your greatest gift.

One of the stories that has always touched me in Scripture is the story of Gideon in Judges 6.

Gideon wasn’t a strong leader, a trained warrior, or someone with public confidence. In fact, when the angel of the Lord appeared to him and called him a "mighty man of valor," Gideon responded with insecurity and doubt:
Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family. (Judges 6:15)
He was hiding in fear when God found him. He was full of questions, full of hesitation.

But it was in that exact space of weakness that God decided to reveal His power. God didn’t rebuke Gideon’s honesty; instead, He affirmed His presence: “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.”
(Judges 6:16)

One of the clearest truths in the Bible is that God’s strength shows up best in our weakness.

Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 12:9: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.
We often feel like we need to have it all together before coming to God. But the Bible shows the opposite. Gideon was afraid. Yet all he was used by God, not because he wasperfect, but because they were honest about their weaknesses.
So don’t hide from God. Don’t wait until you feel worthy. You are the perfect candidate for grace. Bring your weakness to Him. That’s where His power works best.

Reflection: What weakness are you trying to hide from God or others?
Take a moment to admit it honestly to God in prayer. That’s the first step to letting His power work in you.
