Go in the Strength You Have
"The Lord turned to him and said, 'Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's hand. Am I not sending you?'"
— Judges 6:14
Threshing normally happened on an open hilltop, where wind carried the chaff away. Gideon was doing it in a sunken winepress so raiders would not spot the grain. Wrong tool, wrong place, all of it out of fear. An angel greeted him as a mighty warrior, which must have sounded like mockery. God offered no extra strength first. He said go with what you have, and added the part that mattered: I am sending you.
