Gideon is hiding in the winepress from the Midianites when God comes to him and calls him a mighty man of valor.  Can you imagine Gideon looking around for someone else that God might be speaking to and then saying who me? But, this is all of us, without God we...

I don’t believe for most having daily food or shelter in America is something we think too much about this anymore, we take these things for granted, but we shouldn’t. God first wants us to understand that we are dependent on Him for everything we have and need....
