Are You Talkin' to Me?

There he was, minding his own business.  Doing his farm chores like any other morning.  Making sure he was out of sight of the occupying enemy army.  He wanted no piece of that action.  Hey, he's a farmer, not a fighter.

Suddenly, he realizes he's not alone.  No, it's not an enemy soldier.  It's...GULP...the Angel of the Lord!  And if that's not crazy enough, the Angel greets the young farmer, "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior!"

"Are you talkin' to me?" 

"Mighty warrior?" Gideon thought.  "You've got the wrong guy.  My name's Gideon, 'fearful farmer.'  Not 'mighty warrior.'"

Nope.  Gideon's wrong.  He is EXACTLY who the Lord is looking for.  Because when Jesus is on our side, we always have the enemy outnumbered.  Always.

So when you least expect, you might want to look over your shoulder.  You never know when the Lord might be calling you, "mighty warrior."

"Are you talkin' to me?"

Maybe so.
