“And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” And Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” And he said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” And the Lord said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.””

All,
This stands out because the Lord says, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.” What has God put on your heart today? Is there fear involved in the task? Are you relying on your power or His? He likes us in a place of needing and realizing His power and not our own. Please pray that we and our friends rely on God today and do the thing we fear if He is nudging you. Please pray for my wife as she makes a speech today.
