Gideon has been beaten down, and he is not the most confident
person in the Bible. Since many of us are struggling with fear,
you may be able to relate to the story.

Judges 7:7
Then the Lord said to Gideon. "By the three hundred men who
lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your
hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.

I Corinthians 1:29
that no flesh should glory in His presence.

Action is the best thing you can use to destroy fear.

I have taught many times (not on the podcast yet :-) God won't
(or can't steer) a parked car. You need to be moving, and even if
it's in the wrong direction, God will turn you around.

God knows Gideon, and He knows he is still not sure if he can
defeat the Midianites, so God tells him what to do in Judges
7:9-11

It happened on the same night that the Lord said to him, "Arise,
go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your
hand.

But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah
your servant, and you shall hear what they say; and afterward
your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp."
Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the
armed men who were in the camp.

Then Gideon goes with Puruh and hears these words.

Judges 7:13,14

And when Gideon had come,  there was a man telling a dream
to his companion. He said, "I had a dream to my surprise a loaf
of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a
tent and struck it so that it fell in overturned, and the tent
collapsed."

Then his companion answered and said, "This is nothing else but
the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his
hand God has delivered Midian and the whole
camp."
God uses 300 men, clay pitchers with a candle in it, a trumpet,
and a shout to defeat 1,000's and 1,000's of men (numerous as
locusts and their camel without number Judges 7:12)
