Isaiah 41:10a “So do
not be afraid. I am with you. Do
not be terrified. I am your God. I will make you strong and help you.” (NIrV)
The story of Gideon is found in Judges chapters 6 & 7. God used Gideon to rescue the Israelites from the Midianites. The Israelites had been afraid of the Midianites and would run and hide in the caves when the Midianites came to destroy their crops. But God heard Gideon's cries for help, and God told him to gather an army. God would give them victory! With 300 men, God helped Gideon defeat the enemy of which they had been afraid.
We all have things we are afraid of from time to time. Talk with your child about things that make them afraid. Remind them of the verse above from Isaiah. Memorize it together as a family. Help them know that God is when them and will help them. With God on our side, we have nothing to fear!
