...and no I did not ride it in myself to demonstrate how hip I am (that would have been so circa church a la 1995)...
We brought the Harley in to demonstrate the value of trading up.
Would Rob trade his Harley for my old running shoes?
Not so much.
But I would have traded my shoes for his Harley in a second.
But God offers a better deal than even a meticulously polished Harley - he offers his strength in place of ours; a strong new name in place of the limited names we have called ourselves by; and the best possible plan for our lives in place of our own short-sighted life strategies.
That is what Gideon's story was all about - trading our limitations in for the power of an unlimited God.
I encourage you this week to read the whole Gideon story (Judges 6-8) in light of what we talked about yesterday.
In fact, I dare you!
What can you trade in this week and get an unlimited God in return?
