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. When God called Gideon to save HIS nation from slavery and oppression by the Midianites, Gideon gave God the first excuse that I usually come up with: insufficiency.  We know the end of the story, but Gideon didn’t.  He simply obeyed.

He went out in the strength that he had. God made up the difference.
