Then Deborah said to Barak, “Get ready! This is the day the Lord will give you victory over Sisera, for the Lord is marching ahead of you.” 

So on that day Israel saw God defeat Jabin, the Canaanite king. 24And from that time on Israel became stronger and stronger against King Jabin until they finally destroyed him.

“Lord, may all your enemies die like Sisera!

But may those who love you rise like the sun in all its power!”

“Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.”

14Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel from the Midianites. I am sending you!”

And Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and named it Yahweh-Shalom (which means “the Lord is peace”).

“It is all right,” the Lord replied. “Do not be afraid. You will not die.” 

Then Gideon said to God, “Please don’t be angry with me, but let me make one more request. Let me use the fleece for one more test. 

Lord God my Father,

Give me the confidence to trust in your victory today. Give me strength to stand on your word today without compromise. Protect me from the enemy and love as you desire. Keep me from seeing the obstacles and see only your strength, you are enough for me to overcome temptation as I surrender to your plan. You are God!

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
