YHWH Shalom - Peace
When we are confronted by either the needs in our world or God's call for us to address those needs, it's easy to become paralyzed. To think that we're not capable enough, that what's really needed is some sort of Christian superhero. But the story of Gideon reminds us that God doesn't require superhumans to accomplish wonders. Rather, God calls ordinary people and equips them. God requires of us the same thing he required of Gideon: that we respond to God's call with the strength we have. That we join Yahweh-Shalom, the God of Peace, in restoring all things.

We live in turbulent times – from endless war to a slowly recovering economy to a looming educational crisis and ineffective government. While we take care of our lives one day at a time, we can’t help but sense a storm gathering on the horizon. In this, we are much like the Jewish people who lived at the time of the prophets. Surrounded by forces outside their control, God called them to remain faithful in their daily life, to trust him to handle the big stuff. God spoke through prophets. Because their books are so short, we call them the Minor Prophets. But while their writings are short, their message has major implications for our lives today.
