Be valiant! And the angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valour! Judges 6:12 Judges 6 begins with an angel talking to Gideon saying, thou mighty man of valour! However, in this passage Gideon isnt feeling very valiant -- hes consumed with his circumstances -- how poor his family is and how hes the least of his fathers house. He doesnt feel hes done anything worthy of being called valiant, yet the angel still addresses him mighty man of valour! Gideon is not the only one who struggles with feeling unvaliant, though, is he? Even the best of us struggle with feelings of failure and defeat. But we must remember that we are part of the Lords army -- and in the Lords army we do not depend upon our own strength. We depend upon the power of the Lord! We depend upon the victory that He has already won! Imagine the countless thousands of saints like Gideon who have passed away before us and now sit in heavens glory where every tear is dried, and every wound is healed -- who have already fought the battle of life and are calling down to us from heaven saying Fellow Saint, you can get through this thing! Fight this battle -- for we have fought these same battles in our lives and been rewarded with heavens glory! So fight through and well see you soon beside us! March forward you mighty man and woman of valor! The Lord stands anxiously awaiting our call. He wants us to walk in His power, not our own! Lets give him our circumstances today and strive to rely on His strength to conquer them!
