God appeared to Gideon while he was hiding in fear and called him to
be the deliver of Israel. Outnumbered and overwhelmed, God guaranteed
the success, not because of who Gideon was, or any ability He had, but
because God would be with him, and anoint Him for the task.
The
same Spirit that anointed Gideon, is the same Spirit that empowers the
church today to enable us the fulfill the mission God has given us.
