Unlike Yahweh, Gideon is not true to his word. Gideon’s refusal to believe and/or accept the divine word and the divine sign leaves the reader suspicious that Gideon is trying to get out of his assignment.

다니엘 I. 블럭(Daniel I Block)

Doubtful prayer is no prayer at all.

존 칼빈

987God the Holy Ghost writes our prayers, God the Son presents our prayers, and God the Father accepts our prayers. And with the whole Trinity to help us in it, what cannot prayer perform?—54.342, 343

찰스 스펄전

Prayer at its best is the expression of the total life, for all things else being equal, our prayers are only as powerful as our lives.

A. W. 토저 (A. W. Tozer)

Gideon wasn’t a man of strong faith or courage, and God had to patiently work with him to prepare him for leadership. God is always ready to make us what we ought to be if we’re willing to submit to His will (Eph. 2:10; Phil. 2:12–13)

Gideon is thus the turning point in the downward spiral of the judges. In both his greatness and his deficiency, Gideon points to the need for a better deliverer, a king who will truly keep the covenant—Jesus Christ.

R. C. 스프로울 (R. C. Sproul)

The judge is supposed to turn people from unfaithfulness to the true God. Gideon leads them into it.

티모시 켈러(Timothy Keller)

The significant thing about the appearances of the Angel of the Lord to both Gideon and Manoah and his wife, in addition to his identity as the Lord given by both Gideon and Samson’s parents, is his acceptance of their worship in the form of sacrificial offering.
