Mighty child of Valour

Judges 6:1-18  Gideon was in his own little world threshing wheat in a winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. Then the angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, the Lord is with you, you mighty man of courage (valour).   Before the Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, The enemy would  come to the people of Israel time after time and destroy  every thing they grew,and the crops for their livestock and even the seed they planted. The Lord sent a Prophet to them to remind them of His  power and how He is able to deliver them out of the hands of the oppresser. God called them to repent as He called us,but they did not obey. So our Lord finds Gideon hiding from the enemy with all that he has, and says onto him go in this might, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the  Midianites. But just like the rest of us we look for excuses to not fully obey the Word of God. Gideon said he was the least in his father's house and that house being the poorest in their tribe. God is looking for "Meekness and Lowliness" this is absolutely necessary if one is to be truly used by God. Maybe you feel the same way about yourself and family, but don't make excuses you're in the right place where God can use you if you believe. Stop hiding in your own little world cry out to Jesus,and He will surely  be with you "Mighty child of Valour".  Praise  Him.
