If I were to ever compare myself to someone in the Bible, I would choose Gideon because I will trust God wherever He leads me, but I’ll need to make sure God is positive He wants to use me. Like Gideon, if God were to need me to do something for Him, I would have to ask God to give me a sign or two that He would want someone like me to do something for Him. A perfect example of Gideon doing this is in Judges 6:39, which says, “Then Gideon said to God ‘Please don’t be angry with me, but let me make one more request. Let me use the fleece for one more test. This time, let the fleece remain dry while the ground around it is dry.” In this quote, Gideon is asking for a second sign from God that He is asking someone like him to defeat a whole army.
