Who believes in the word
of God's promises?
God spoke to Gideon,
instructing him to lead the Israelites against
the enemy camp of the Midianites,
saying, "I have given it into your
hand."
However, even after receiving this promise from
God,
it seems that Gideon was afraid to go down to
the Midianite camp.
Perhaps the reason was that the Midianites,
Amalekites,
and the people of the East were as numerous as
locusts,
and their camels were as numerous as the grains
of sand on the seashore.
Ultimately, it seems that Gideon doubted God's
promise,
possibly because he couldn't believe that with
just 300 Israelite soldiers,
God would enable them to defeat such a large
enemy army.
Interestingly, despite Gideon's doubt,
there was someone in the Midianite camp
who knew that God had given the entire camp into
Gideon's hand
(Judg. 7:9-14).
Gideon doubted God's promise,
but this Midianite individual believed in it.
