God makes us STRONG out of our weakness. Many of the best examples of this are found in the book of Judges in men like Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah. Because the Bible is so honest, we see all of the flaws, shortcomings, and sins of our spiritual ancestors. While these men were --  the least of the least, needed several proofs from God, hesitated to go to war, weak in their passions, rejected by their family, hasty in their vows – God raised them up and made them strong through their FAITH.
