Judges 6:13 Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”

Gideon had just been called a mighty man of valour before he replied with these words. Yes he was brave and active in spirit and yet he still questioned things that happened. His faith had not yet been bolstered.

Too often we know that we too should be trusting and relying on God but we give in to the fears and we allow our lack of faith to rise up instead of fully trusting God.

It is God who has the ultimate knowledge about everything; we do need to step up and trust Him totally. We do not know His plans and we should not question them.
