We Need God's Meekness to Overpower our Weaknesses: Gideon and the Power of Weakness (Part 1)

Gideon was a man of a brave, active spirit, yet in obscurity through the times: he is here stirred up to undertake something great. It was very sure that the Lord was with him, when his Angel was with him. Gideon was weak in faith, which made it hard to reconcile the assurances of the presence of God with the distress to which Israel was brought. The Angel answered his objections. He told him to appear and act as Israel's deliverer, there needed no more. While God calls Gideon valiant, he makes him so. God delights to advance the humble. Gideon desires to have his faith confirmed by God. Judges Chpt. 6
