Even though the Lord delivered them into the hands of the Midianites, because of the evil they did ,He was just waiting for them to realize that even though they had done evil in His sight ,all they had to do was cry out to Him and He would answer. Like Gideon sometimes it is hard to understand if the Lord is really on our side, why are we sometimes overwhelmed with circumstances that we can't seem to see a way out. Yes He saw something in Gideon, the same as He sees in us. We can do nothing in ourselves, but with God all things are possible. If we could only trust Him and know in our heart that He has the final Word.
