Judges 6:13 Then Gideon said to him, O my lord, if the Lord is with us why has all this come on us
Gideon has just had an angel come to him and said The Lord is WITH YOU mighty man of war
What a statement to a man who was hidden away in a dip in the ground for fear of the enemy.
How could God the Great God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob really have been with him or his nation?
After all they were robbed of food and land. Surely God was not with them.
Yet in all the trials and all the sadness and hardship of life the Lord God was with the them. The fear, sadness and weariness of life had for a while clouded their eyes with tears of suffering so that they could not see the Great deep Love of God just hovering above them. God was just about to do a miracle in their lives and SET them FREE from all their sorrows and oppression and give GREAT JOY.
For us may be that is soon to be the case. We may be feeling like Gideon. God is saying I Am with you and have great blessing for you you may feel like saying IF you are with me then why Lord? Why all these sad times or trials? Why cant I seem to break free from my weary life and helpless condition? Why is all this bad happening to me?
Well the only answer I have is that everything that is happening to us is actually working for our good and the good of others and Gods glory.
Joseph learnt this when he said you meant it for harm but God meant it for good.
Be strong and look up for God is with you even if you do not feel it. It soon as He is faithful in times past He will set you free from the hurts of life and bring you a great freedom and blessing.
Look up you deliverance is coming soon.
