In spite of Gideon hiding from an invading enemy, what does the angel of the Lord call him (v. 12)? What does God ask Gideon, a simple man, to do (v.16)? Why does God instruct Gideon to tear down an altar to a false god and build an altar to the true God before going to war (v.25-27)? In spite of my fears, how does God encourage me to follow him?
