In the Bible, many individuals are called by God, but often resist His call, as exemplified by Gideon from the tribe of Manasseh. Gideon regarded himself as the least among his clan, reflecting a profound sense of inadequacy in the face of Israel's current situation, which stemmed from disobedience to God and the worship of foreign gods. Despite his self-perception as the weakest man in Israel, God recognized him as a mighty warrior. This episode highlights the contrast between human self-view vs God's perspective, and allows us to ask questions about our own calling and resistance to God’s purpose. It becomes clear that God’s call invites us to fulfill a greater mission than we can can believe.
