Judges 6:13 And Gideon said unto Him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? And where be all His miracles, which our fathers told us of, saying, did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? But now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

The people of Israel had fallen away and were being oppressed by the Midianites. The Angel of the Lord came to Gideon and told him that the Lord was with him.  However, Gideon’s reply was basically, “Why are all these bad things happening and the Lord hasn’t done anything about them? If the Lord is good, why doesn’t He do something about it?”

The Lord’s reply is in the next verse, “Am I not sending you?”

I wonder how many times we have asked similar questions of God. Many times, I believe God’s reply to us would be the same as it was to Gideon.
