It is your time to step up Part 5

In this powerful exploration of Gideon's journey, we're challenged to examine the hidden idols in our own lives. The story from Judges reminds us that God often calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things, seeing our potential even when we feel inadequate. Like Gideon, we're urged to tear down the modern-day 'altars of Baal' - materialism, pride, and misplaced priorities that compete for our devotion. This message encourages us to affirm our faith, seeking God's confirmation as we step into unfamiliar territory. It's a call to trust in God's perspective of our strength rather than our insecurities, reminding us that our current position doesn't define who we are in God's eyes. As we face our own battles, we're inspired to rely on God's direction and resources, even when it doesn't make sense to us. This teaching challenges us to step up in faith, overcome negative self-talk, and embrace God's power for our lives.
