Battle
The enemy wins every day you don’t go out to Fight.
Gideon said to the angel, “Please, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’”(Judg. 6:13). Gideon asks a good question. They were fearful. They are doing their work in private. Getting on with life, threshing wheat in a winepress so the enemy won’t find them. That was Gideon before God called him out.
