But
If The Lord
Is
With Us,
Why
Has All This Happened To Us?
Scripture
Judges
6
13 “Pardon
me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with
us, why has all this happened to us?
Observation
Am
I the only one who is wondering, in this current situation that we
find ourselves in, what Gideon was bold enough to ask the Lord?
He
asked the angel of the Lord, “If the Lord is with us, why has all
this happened to us? This plague has now covered the entire world and
it begs the same question that Gideon asked the Lord, “Why has all
this happened to us?”
I
look for the Lord to raise up valiant mighty warriors to fight this
invisible enemy just like He did when He chose Gideon.
Gideon
didn't think of himself as a warrior, but God saw that Gideon was a
leader before Gideon realized it. In fact, Gideon told the angel of
the Lord that he thought he had the wrong guy for the job.
Then
in Judges 7 the Lord told Gideon that he had too many soldiers to
fight the battle and then the Lord told Gideon to only keep 300
soldiers and send the rest of the army of 32,000 back home!
In
an unbelievable show of God's power Gideon takes the 300 soldiers
into battle and the Lord because Gideon and his 300 soldiers were
courageous and obedient the Lord used them to defeat their
overwhelming enemy.
We
sure need for God to raise up brave men and women to fight this
invisible enemy that we are facing today! We desperately need to pray
for God to raise up some Gideons! We desperately need a victory!
Can
I get an Amen?
Application
I
will pray and ask God to send a deliverer, someone like Gideon, to
defeat this enemy.
How
about you? Will you join me in asking God to raise up men and women
who will deliver us from this invisible enemy?

Chronicle 7:14
14 Then
if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and
pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear
from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, we don't know why this is happening, but we know that You do
know. This comes to no surprise to You. There is a reason for all of
this even though we can't see it or understand it.
I
know that You are good. You are a good, good Father. Nothing touches
the life of a believer, nothing touches the life of one of Your
children without Your permission. You are Sovereign. You are
all-knowing. I am asking You to help us. Raise up leaders to defeat
this enemy. Nothing is too hard for You. Nothing!
