He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30.
Gideon was in a winepress beating wheat to hide it from the Midianites, when God appeared to him.
God saw Gideon's potential.
The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. Judges 6:10b.
Same God, same message, different recipient,
for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9b.
Joshua was facing the biggest challenge of his life and his mentor had just checked out for good. Gideon needed more than a pep talk.
Ponder that for a moment... I'll be back.
By Grace,
Travis
