Plod On! Bible in a Year: Psalms 37–39 Acts 26 “Am I not sending you?” Judges 6: Today's Scripture & Insight: Judges 6.7–16 God loves to use people the world might overloo William Carey was raised in a tiny village in the 1700s and had little formal education. He had limited success in his chosen trade and lived in poverty. But God gave him a passion for sharing the good news and called him be a missionary. Carey learned Greek, Hebrew, and Latin and eventually translated the first New Testament into the Bengali language. Today he is regarded as a “father of modern missions,” but in a letter to his nephew he offered this humble assessment of his abilities: “I can plod. I can persevere.” When God calls us to a task, He also gives us strength to accomplish it regardless of our limitations. In Judges 6: the angel of the Lord appeared Gideon and said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” The angel then told him to rescue Israel from the Midianites who were raiding their towns and crops. But Gideon, who hadn’t earned the title of “mighty warrior,” humbly responded, “How can I save Israel? . . . I am the least in my family” (v. 15). Still, God used Gideon to set His people free. The key to Gideon’s success was in the words, “the Lord is with you” (v. ). As we humbly walk with our Savior and rely on His strength, He will empower us accomplish what’s only possible through Him. Reflect & Pray What’s God calling you do that you can’t do in your own strength? How can you rely on His power today? Thank You for empowering , my Savior and my strength! Please help follow You closely.

Another timely and encouraging affirmation. I can plod, and I can persevere. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
