You’re so precious! – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
“When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior.”’ (Judges 6:12)
Dear friend, God’s promise for you is from Judges 6:12, ‘When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior.”’ Yes, according to the verse, an angel of God appears to Gideon and encourages him saying, “The LORD is with you, mighty warrior.” This is a blessing as well as a greeting to Gideon. An angel of God blessed Mary also like this. As in Luke 1:28, ‘The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”’
The above verse is also a blessing as well as a greeting. May the Lord be with you also in the same way. The Lord knows you very well. More than you know yourself the Lord knows you. The Lord knew Gideon and He also knew Mary. The Lord knew what they are going to do in the future also. You may be underestimating yourself saying, “I am nothing,” but God knows who you are.
When Saul came against David, he too said, “I am nothing.” David says as 1 Samuel 24:14, “Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Who are you pursuing? A dead dog? A flea?” He called himself as a dead dog and a flea. Likewise, you might also be saying, “I am nothing”, but God calls you as a mighty warrior. Yes, He says to you that you are highly beloved. As the Lord is with you, you will also be like that. The Lord is going to use you mightily. I put these words upon you today and bless you.
Prayer:
Loving Father,
Bless me as You blessed Gideon and Mary. May I also receive Your greeting and blessing every day of my life. Make me a mighty warrior. Lay Your presence upon me Lord. Take away all the discouragements Lord. Lift Your name through me. I give myself to You Lord Jesus. Help me to do exploits from now on.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
