Judges 6, on the calling of Gideon, is a passage that we have studied before; yet, some new insights are revealed as we study it in context of this whole series on the Book of Judges. God shows His Love and Faithfulness, despite Israel's continual sin and worship of false gods. And God reassures, uses, and empowers Gideon as a Deliverer, despite Gideon's feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. Gideon incorrectly felt that the oppressive circumstances under the Midianites showed that God had abandoned them, when in fact, it was God who was trying to restore the covenant relationship broken by Israel's sin. In the same way, sometimes, our inaccurate view of God and flawed perspectives, can blind us to the truth and feed our insecurities.
