Gods answer to Gideons self-image is that God will be with Gideon. As Christians today we get the same assurance. My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19 I can do ALL things THROUGH Christ wo strengthens me. Phil 4:13 Lord give me the faith to step out in Your strength, not mine. Amen

God saw Gideon as a mighty warrior. Gideon saw himself as the least in his family. God of course is correct, but Gideon is right too, but with God who gives us the strength we become mighty. God likes to use those who are weak, they are useable, because the rest try to do it in their own strength. When we believe we can't do what God has planned for us and don't use Gods strength then we stop Gods visions for our life at that time.

They did not listen to God. They broke Thou Shalt have no other gods before Me. They worshipped the gods of the Amorites. We worship the gods of this time whether it be cults without God or whether it be famous people, possesions, money, jobs, etc. It doesn't take a lot sometimes for us to take our eyes off Him and put them on the worldly things.

Hi, I am from Eagle River, Alaska and go to Kings Way Assembly of God Pentecostal church. I am excited about this study of Gideon since God is working in my life in this area right now. I am blessed by computer studies for I believe God brings them our way for a purpose. I pray that each of you will be blessed by this study and that Gods wisdom will be revealed to each of you. Many Blessings

Gideon believes God abandoned them because they are under oppression from the Midianites. Gideon's assessment is wrong. They disobeyed God & worshipped other gods, so God let the Midianites oppress them. We don't see what we bring on ourselves or want to accept the responsibility. The danger is God will let the enemy use our disobedience against us. We can stop short of this by asking for forgiveness and repenting or we could just obey God in the first place.
