The Lord greets him initially with what must have seemed a joke: "Hail, you man of valor!" when really he was the least of the least, and apparently a great coward to boot. But that was why he was so perfect for the task at hand; had he been a "greater" man, people would have looked at his leadership as a sign that he was good enough for the job, and not that God was stepping in once more on their behalf.<br /><br />I love the humor in that chapter; how much God must have loved poor Gideon, to grant him signs and wonders in the face of what must have seemed shockingly unbelievable.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.com
