God saw strength in Gideon while Gideon saw himself as the weakest in Manasseh and the least in his family. Since our Creator is powerful and full of wisdom, it can not be denied that His own perception is always accurate and true. Our doubts and lack of trust in God prevent us from becoming what He has made us to be.

According to the prophet the reason for Israel's suffering is because of breaking God's commandment that says, ""Worship no God but me." They worship other gods. Israelites continuously ignoring God's commandment.They called out for help to God during their sufferings but several years after God had released them from the bondage of oppression and forgave them ...but they always went back to their unfaithfulness. We are like the Israeliltes then, we are continuously ignoring God's commandment to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We easily got distracted of the things around us that do not belong to Him but to the world. But even how many times we became unfaithful to Him ..He is always there ready to help us when we repented and turned to Him again....because He is our merciful God, and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. (Exodus 34:6)
