The angel of The Lord came, and he sat under the oak that was in Ophrah, which belongs to Joash, the Abiezrite. His son Gideon was threshing wheat in the wine vat in order to hide it from the Midianites. Then the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said: 'The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.'Judges 5:11,12
Tonight I went to see the new 'Hobbit' movie as I had read Tolkien's books years ago and enjoyed 'The Hobbit'.
The story starts our with Gandalf the Grey visiting Bilbo Baggins and choosing him for a quest. Bilbo refuses as his culture was one of non-adventure. However, Gandalf knew otherwise and the adventure begins. Gandalf knew that the team he was placing Bilbo into needed such a man as Bilbo, a man who could not use a sword and was unused to any rough living as most soldiers were. Yet Bilbo had character and when it really counted he was there for his friends.
What adventure has The Lord chosen for you? Are you a reluctant hero? Are there skid marks all the way?
Loosen up and accept that The Lord knows how He made you and you are well able to meet the task. In fact praise Him for the opportunity.
