We all struggle with various fears and phobias. But God wants us to choose obedience to Him over our fears. He wants to help us overcome our fears in order to obey His Word and His calling on our lives.

In chapter 6 of Judges, the Israelites have again fallen back into that repetitive cycle of sin and sorrow. And God heard their cry and again sent them a judge to rescue them. This time it’s a timid man named Gideon that God calls to overcome his fear and obey the Lord. We can learn to overcome our fears by obeying the Lord.
