Judges 6:14-15 NLT

¹⁴ Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!”

¹⁵ “But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!”

 

The other day I was helping my friend Jason put insulation into the house that he is building.  During a break we went up to his porch, where he had a Remington .222 rifle for shooting groundhogs. 

I said, “How old is this thing?  I can tell it’s old but it looks really good.”

“I don’t know,” he replied, “but I know it’s old, because my grandpa used it to hunt deer.”

“That’s a pretty small caliber for hunting deer,” I said.

“My grandpa always said, ‘It’s not too small for where I shoot them all: right between the eyes.’”

All too often I tell God “No way! That’s too _______.  Guess what?  Not for Him.  He has a perfect plan for every situation.  Every time He shoots it hits right between the eyes.
