A Mighty Man of Valor

In Judges Chapter 6 we see a story of the Angel of the Lord coming to Gedeon and calling him a mighty man of valor.  At the time Gedeon was hiding from the Midianites trying to thrash out some grain to feed himself.  Gedeon expressed concern and asked how he, the least of his tribe and one of the least in the Kingdom of Israel could ever hope to break free from the bondage of the Midianites.  The Lord assured him that "SURELY I WILL BE WITH YOU!'  Isn't that all we need to hear, that the Lord will be with us.  That simple phrase should cause us to triumph in any and all situations.  What God was saying to Gedeon was that I AM THAT I AM is here.  No 1, God is all sufficient for us.  No. 2, God has all ability.  No. 3, God will perform what he says.  God further told Gedeon "HAVE I NOT SENT YOU?"  That my friends is all we need to hear, that God will be with us when He sends us out to do something.  How many have thought of a ministry that you could do only if God were with you.  The good news is that He is.  Jesus told us in Matthew 28:20 that he wold be with us always.  He is through the Holy Spirit.  Let's do something for Christ, ask God to be with you and become a mighty man or woman of valor for Jesus.   Remember the Angel of the Lord called Gedeon a might man of valor while he was still in bondage to the Midianites.  God calls those things which be not as though they are!!  Get ready to fly!
