Chapter 1
Day 1-6: God Sees Me-Even When I Feel Small
Scripture Focus
Judges 6:12
> “The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.”
Gideon heard these words while he was hiding and working with grain, yet God saw courage in him before Gideon could see it in himself.
A winepress was usually used for pressing grapes, but Gideon was threshing wheat there. He was trying to stay out of sight because the Midianites were troubling the people of Israel. Gideon didn’t look like a mighty hero. He looked like someone who felt small.
Then God called him a “mighty man of valour.” Gideon must have wondered, “Me?” He had questions. He felt unsure. He didn’t suddenly become fearless. God patiently helped him take one step, then another.
That is good news for little hearts. God doesn’t wait until we feel big, strong, or perfectly ready. He sees us where we are, and He stays with us as we grow.
Reflection
Have you ever stood at the edge of something and thought, “I’m too small for this”? Maybe you needed to speak kindly to a lonely child, tell the truth after making a mistake, try something new, or ask for help. Your heart may have felt like Gideon’s - quiet, nervous, and hidden.
God didn’t pretend Gideon had no fears. He met Gideon in the middle of them. Gideon asked questions, and God answered him. Gideon needed time, and God was patient with him. The Lord’s presence mattered more than Gideon’s size or confidence.
You don’t have to feel big for God to do something big through you. A small step can be an act of faith. Kneeling beside your bed to pray is a small step. Saying, “I’m sorry,” can be a small step. Sharing your snack, helping a younger child, or choosing not to join unkind words can also be a small step.
The Bible shows us that God calls different people at different ages. Gideon felt too small. Jeremiah felt too young. God told Jeremiah not to say, “I am only a child,” because God would be with him and give him the words to speak. God doesn’t measure people the way we do. He sees a child’s willing heart, a quiet act of obedience, and a little bit of courage that keeps growing.
Courage doesn’t always roar like a lion. Sometimes it sounds like a tiny whisper: “I can take the next right step with God.” You may still feel nervous while you do it. That’s okay. Gideon was nervous too. Faith isn’t pretending you’re never afraid. Faith is trusting that God is near while you move forward.
Practice for Today
1. Write down your “too small” thought. Take a notebook and finish this sentence: “Sometimes I feel too small or too young to…” Write one honest answer. It might be, “speak in front of my class,” “make a new friend,” or “help when someone is upset.” Under it, write: “God is with me, so my next small step can be…” Keep the step simple. You might smile at someone, ask a trusted adult for help, or say one kind sentence.
2. Try a one-minute Gideon prayer. Set a timer for sixty seconds. Sit quietly and tell God exactly how you feel. You can say, “God, I feel small because ____. Please show me one brave step.” Then be still for a moment. You don’t need a loud voice or fancy words. God hears a small, honest prayer.
3. Take one brave step that helps someone. Choose one action before the day ends. Put away something without being asked. Sit beside someone who feels left out. Tell the truth about a mistake. Pray for a person who needs God’s help. When you finish, thank God - not because you felt fearless, but because He was with you as you obeyed.
As you write, remember Gideon beside the winepress. He didn’t begin with a large army or a grand plan. He began with God’s call and one next step. Your small act of faith matters to God, too.
Closing Prayer
Dear God, I sometimes feel small, young, or afraid. Thank You for seeing me with love. Like Gideon, help me trust that You are with me. Show me one small step of courage today, and help me take it with a willing heart. Amen.
