The story of Gideon shows how God can give the victory if we will trust entirely in Him.
The Israelites are in trouble again. This time, God sends help through an unlikely leader—so that God will get the glory.
Israel will continue to spiral downward away from their God but He will continue to hear their pleas for help and send them deliverers.
We all have our own Midianites to face. By studying Gideon's strategy we can learn how we too can defeat the Midianites.
Not a message about one person like Gideon, but about a condition of this life. It is called despair meaning all hope is gone. The Lord has left us on our own. Throughout scripture, God gives us examples of those who seemed to be left by the Lord and thought they had been deserted by Him but later found that He hadn't left them at all.
