Judges 6: 13   And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

These words came from a man who within a short time was going to lead just 300 men to defeat an army of allied nations. This is the description of Gideon's enemies:

Judg 7: 12  And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.

Gideon had never seen a miracle. He thought God had forsaken him. Doesn't that sound like the way we feel sometimes? OK, maybe it's just me. But God is still in the business of lifting us from the bottom to place us on top... But like Gideon, he'll use our 300 men to defeat our sand-of-the-seashore problems so we'll redirect all praise to Him. You are not the first person God is about to shock.
