I Am Weak But He Is Strong
Israel Sinned against God
God allowed the Midianites to come against them.
The Israelites were hiding in dens, caves and strongholds which they made in the mountains.
Whenever harvest time would come the Midianites and the Amalekites would come up to destroy their harvest.
The Israelites began to cry out to God
Notice their cry must have been different then at other times.
While the enemy was destroying the peoples harvest there was an Angel of the Lord setting under a Terebinth tree to hide an man named Gideon’s harvest from the enemy.
records Gideon’s first encounter with this angel.
Let’s look at how Gideon responded:
Judges 6:
Gideon destroys the altar of Baal and the wooden images at night.
The enemy came up against them so it must have been close to time for harvest.
tells us that there were 120,000 soldiers who drew their swords in this battle.
Gideon blew the trumpet and took a stand
He sent for help and help came
He prayed for confirmation of his calling by using a fleece of wool.
The Lord told Gideon his army was too big
Judges 7:2-
Why was his army too big?
Because they could claim the glory if they went into battle.
Gideon started with 32,000 men.
He sent home those who were afraid and remained with 10,000 men courageous men.
He separated those who lapped water like dog’s from their hands and those who got on all four and drank water straight from the stream.
He was left with 300 men.
32,000 men
32,000 men
10,000 men
The Apostle Paul teaches us to take pleasure in our weaknesses.
300 men
Paul’s thorn wasn’t sin as many would like to assume.
His thorn in his flesh was weakness.
He actually defines this weakness in verse 10
Infirmity - the condition of being feeble : FRAILTY, weak
Reproaches - the expression of disapproval or disappointment.
Needs - something that is essential or very important.
Persecutions - hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of race or political or religious beliefs
Distresses - cause (someone) anxiety, sorrow, or pain.
For when I am weak, then I am strong.
