And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
Judges 6:12 (NKJV)
Israel had rebelled against God. He, in turn, had allowed the Midianites and other nations to oppress and plunder His people. When the Israelites cried to God, He raised a leader called Gideon. This man, however, lacked self-belief.
When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress in fear of the marauding Midianites. The angel said to Gideon, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Judges 6:12 (NKJV). A might warrior? Hiding?
God is asking Gideon, “Are you aware of the solution to Israel’s problems in your hands? You should not be hiding. You should be leading your people into battle.”
Gideon expresses his doubts, but God will hear none of them. God commands Gideon, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” Judges 6:14. Eventually, though, by trusting in God, Gideon goes forward and triumphs.
Many mighty warriors are languishing in fear, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. If they would listen to God, they would hear Him reminding them that they can do all things through Christ, who strengthens them (Philippians 4:13).
Will you trust God today and face your challenges with courage? If only you knew how powerful you are when you use your God-given abilities. If only you listened to God saying, “Let him take hold of My strength” (Isaiah 27:5).
Father, I cast my fears on you. I choose to live like the mighty warrior I am, in Your Name.
