IF YOU ARE AFRAID
Judges 7:9-11
On that same night the Lord said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand. But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant. Listen to what they shall say, and afterward your hands shall be strong and you shall then go down into the camp.” And he went down with Purah his servant to the edge of the camp of the fifty.
Encouraging Words
Our God is so awesome. He continually shows us what we need to be able to trust in Him. Here we find Gideon preparing to go into battle with the Midianites. Gideon's army had been whittled down by God from 32,000 soldiers to 300 for this battle. Why did God do that? He needs us all to know that the battles in our lives are not won by our might, but by God's work in us. God even gave Gideon a chance to eliminate his doubts by going down to the enemy's camp and hearing for himself their fear and apprehension of the God of the Israelites, our God. God loves us so much that He even cares for us in the midst of our doubts. Glory be to God!
