Summary
Through Gideon's call in Judges 6, God demonstrates that his grace shines through human weakness and sin. Despite Israel's repeated idolatry and unfaithfulness, God raises up Gideon—the weakest member of the weakest tribe—to deliver them, showing that God's presence makes human weakness irrelevant to his purposes.
Highlights
God's grace shines through weakness, and he delights in using weak vessels to accomplish his plans of deliverance.
God doesn't use us in spite of our weaknesses, God uses us in light of our weaknesses. It's not a burden to God that we are weak people, it is an expectation of God that we are weak people.
Rejoice in your weakness as an opportunity for God's grace to be shown.
