Christian Thomas, a five-year-old also known as Buddy Backpacker, is officially the youngest person to ever hike the 180-mile Appalachian Trail. With his parents, Christian hiked and learned math, science and languages along the way. The trail is daunting for a hiker of any age, which makes Buddy’s trek all the more incredible. Sometimes small people can do great things.

And it was so…he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

Judges 6:38

In today’s passage, Gideon, “the least” in his family (Judges 6:15), felt really small, too. But God had big plans. When Gideon doubted the Lord’s instructions, he asked for specific confirmation. “If there is dew on the fleece alone, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.” (Judges 6:37) God did just as Gideon asked.

Do you question what small acts of faith God can use in your life? Size doesn’t matter when it comes to the Almighty. Pray for God to confirm His plans for you. Then intercede for America and its leaders to move mountains with their faith – no matter the size.
