The children of Israel were bondage to the Midianites, a people from east of the Jordan River, known for strife and contention. Judges 6:1 records that “…the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.” Sin always enslaves people.
God’s chastening hand had its desired effect—they turned to the Lord and sought deliverance. God commissioned a man from central Israel named Gideon to be their deliverer.
There would be many personal, family and military struggles, but God strengthened Gideon in each situation. Today we will see, that no matter the struggles we face in accomplishing the task God has assigned to us, God will strength us as we continue forward in faith and obedience.
