The Angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Judges 6:12

For seven years the armies of Midian were wreaking havoc against the children of Israel, causing them to flee and hide anywhere they could. Gideon was actually hiding out in a wine press when an angel of the Lord came and said to him, “the Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor”. Interesting how even while Gideon was hiding, God called him a mighty man of valor.

See yourself as God sees you.

Take heart and be of good courage today. You are not who the world says you are, you are who God says you are.
