The angel of the lord told Gideon two things that got him confused- 1. He was called a man of valor .2. He was told he was enjoying divine presence. The declaration elicited a profound response from Gideon,'If God be with us, why then is all this befallen us'. The Israelites were being oppressed, nevertheless the Angel of the lord made it clear God was in the picture.
There are 2 basic lessons to be learnt here- The presence of God doesn't prevent challenges from coming our way; the Bible says we shall experience trials but we shall overcome. Secondly, God is always in the picture no matter what we,re going through. It doesn't matter what the predicament is, God won't leave you nor forsake you. When the Hebrew boys were placed in the fiery furnace, the lord joined them and rescued them. Don't lose hope, it gets very tough at times, the devil is putting pressure on you because of your tomorrow. Remain focused, stand for righteousness and God will see you through, for whosoever shall call on the name of the lord shall be saved. Hallelujah!
