Jdg 6:15 So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” Jdg 6:16 And the LORD said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.”
The Midianites had caused havoc to the Israelites. These raiders from the east swept across the country seasonally, plundering it like a multitude of locust. Although they entered the country from the east, they traveled as far as Gaza on the western coast leaving nothing behind them. The Israelites were reduced to nothing and went hiding in caves.
And the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon addressing him as a ” mighty man of valour “. Although Gideon doubted that he was that strong and claimed to the weakest in israel, the Angel of the Lord commissioned him to go and deliver Israel from the Midianites. In other words, the angel was telling him that he was equal to the task and above all, the Lord would be with him.
Dear saint, God is bigger than your current circumstances. Charles Surgeon said ” If we cannot believe God when circumstances seem be against us, we do not believe him at all”. When God is with you, you will be able to rise above all your current circumstances.
