Meditate on verse 12b.

The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior.

God used Midian to punish Israel for doing evil (v. 1). The Midianites ravaged the Israelites, and they cried to God for help. God reminded them He rescued them from slavery to the Egyptians, brought them to the land of promise, and taught them how to live with Him. Yet they disobeyed, resulting in extreme oppression by their enemies. God sent them a deliverer named Gideon. Though he was a fearful man, God saw his destiny and called him “valiant warrior” (v. 12).

This story has many practical applications for you. The LORD delivered you from slavery to sin, brought you to the land of promises in Christ, and teaches you with His Word and His Spirit. When you obey Him, sin does not ravage your life. Listen for the name God has given you. It will describe how God sees you and who He is shaping you to be. Have the courage to cut down the idols in your home, church, city, etc. Experience the LORD’s peace as you obey Him.

Pray Judges 6:12, 14, and 23-25 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, be with _______ and me and make us valiant warriors.

As You look at us, we go in Your strength

to deliver our people from the hand of the enemy.

Give us Your peace.  Do not let us fear.  Do not let us die.

Let us pull down and cut down all the idols.

By Your name, The LORD is Peace, Jesus~”
