(יד) וַיִּ֤פֶן אֵלָיו֙ יְהֹוָ֔ה וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לֵ֚ךְ בְּכֹחֲךָ֣ זֶ֔ה וְהוֹשַׁעְתָּ֥ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִכַּ֣ף מִדְיָ֑ן הֲלֹ֖א שְׁלַחְתִּֽיךָ׃
(14) The LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this strength of yours and deliver Israel from the Midianites. I herewith make you My messenger.”
Baruch Hashem!
"...in this STRENGTH of yours..."
This same "strength of yours" is what David used to smoke Goliath's head smooth straight off...
When all odds are against you, with this same "strength" Hashem see's to it a way is made though! The same "strength" that, when it should have been over, He turns the tables! A dead end no more, with this "strength" we realize He is able!... This is the same "strength" David got from Abraham when about to sacrifice Isaac, this same "strength in yours"..... is FAITH.
(13) Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why has all this befallen us? Where are all His wondrous deeds about which our fathers told us, saying, ‘Truly the LORD brought us up from Egypt’? Now the LORD has abandoned us and delivered us into the hands of Midian!”
That little bit of faith in Hashem (even from a place of complaining!) was enough faith to deliver Israel!
Psalm 25:1
