* Beauty is found within battle.

* Did you catch the last part of this verse - “Their weakness turned to strength,” and “they became strong in battle.”

* They became strong when they joined in the battle.

* Gideon was naturally fearful and doubtful.

* But his strength increased when he jumped into the battle.

* This is the beauty of being a believer - the battle is already won!

* All we gotta do is be willing to jump in.

* The fight is a spiritual one - Ephesians 6:12.

* The Marines have it right.
