Gideon had shown many instances where he asked God for signs to prove something God said.
We read in Judges 7: 9 that God woke Gideon up and told him to go down into the Midianite camp because God has given Gideon the victory.
God went ahead and offered Gideon an additional opportunity to be assured (confident), incase he has some fear or doubts of the victory God had already given.
Gideon took God up on the offer and went down to the camp to confirm. There he overhead some men talking about a dream and its interpretation which confirmed what God had already said of assured victory.
Many of us are like Gideon, we are human and can have doubts of the victory God has promised. God is sure of victory, however knowing us he understands, like he understood Gideon, that we sometimes need a little convincing. This doesn’t deter God rather he goes a little further to give us the assurance we need.
If God has chosen you and wants to use you, he will work with you give you the tools you need and build up your faith to enable you realise the victory he has already assured.
So let’s be rest assured that God has chosen us to be victorious and if he has said it he will do it.
Text Judges 7:9-11, 13-15
