Topic: REMEMBER (10/19/17)
It was ahard period.The people had to hide in caves.They labored in vain.It was the darkest time in history.All the people were sunk in anguish and terror.No matter what was happening to the people of God,Gideon went to thresh wheat in ahidden place so that the midianites wouldn’t see him.He was daring and through him God saved His people.Many times we are hiding in our worries and anxieties,but we should trust God who has agreat purpose for us.No situation can prevent the plan of God from prevailing.



Everyday we are prown to deal with situations and make decisions.When we dare to move forward no matter the circumstances we overcome our hardest battles.Gideon’s family was from the smallest tribe in Israel and he felt anobody.He thought like we usually think when we want to make great moves.We tend to feel inferior in the big tasks ahead of us.God’s thoughts are different from our thoughts.When He chose to use Gideon He knew that He would empower him for that.He will never leave us alone.Our flesh tempts us to think that we are alone.So long as we remain united with Jesus and take care of our salvation everyday He will always be with us.



How many times do we fail to take courageous steps because we feel insignificant before our families,friends and society?How long will we allow fear to dorminate us?God wants to use us.He knows we are weak but empowered by Him we can do exploits.Let us always remember that our God is sovereign.He will see us through all our battles because we have decided to honor Him.God uses ordinary people to accomplish His plan.He can use you,me and all of those who hold sacred His commandments and obey them.



God will separate us to for His glory.At times we will be required to go against the current in our families and society to do His will.Going back to Gideon we see Him destroying the altar of false gods and building the altar of the living God.We will become more capable because we understand the value of our salvation,motivating us to stretch our hands to the lost and bring them into the Kingdom of God.

Remember God is with you.He will prove himself strong to all of us who seek Him in truth and in spirit.Let us keep expanding His Kingdom.

Great job with the introduction. The words really drew me in.

There were some some spacing problems (ahard instead of a hard, and no space after some of the periods) but otherwise it was a good, empowering read.

I really enjoyed reading this. The second to last paragraph was very powerful. Well done.

When we say "if" to God, he will do the "if". Our "if" makes us available to God for his use.

When we write one piece, we have given ourselves to God so the next written piece will come to mind.

Keep writing.

Your devotional contained some very good points; however, it would have been even more powerful if you had shown more and told less. Before you submit your story, you can preview it and make changes.

Some suggestions:

Prown should be spelled prone.

Midianite should be capitalized.

He felt [like] a nobody.

God will separate us to[o], for his glory.
