Are you going through a period of time where you feel that God has forgotten you? Choose to accept the authority of the scriptures over your feelings and know God has not forsaken you.
God knows all things. But some things get His attention faster than others. He knows all our sins. But some sins get noticed faster and sometimes sin piles up so high that He responds.
Not a message about one person like Gideon, but about a condition of this life. It is called despair meaning all hope is gone. The Lord has left us on our own. Throughout scripture, God gives us examples of those who seemed to be left by the Lord and thought they had been deserted by Him but later found that He hadn't left them at all.
A feast was made and many were bidden, but when they would not come the servant was sent to the streets, highways and the hedges. If you have accepted the invitation then you should be acting as the servant to bring in others.
Our works are a product of what is going on in our hearts. When God looks on your heart, what does He see?
