FAITH PRESCRIPTION: Ask with understanding to know how He is going with you.

Judges 6

In your endeavor, do you know if God will go with you?
Moses, despite is experiences and promises of God for him, he needed to know for sure how God was going to go with him. Moses asked from God, “Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” (Exodus 33:12-13) Moses asked from God without doubt and he asked with no complaint.
How are you asking from God to know how He is going with you?
God responded to Moses’ question, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” God is a good God that will answer when His children knows to ask with understanding.
At a point in time, the Israelites were suffering in the hand of Midianites. While Gideon was in the business of preparing to hide from the hand of the Midianites, the Angel of the Lord showed up to Gideon saying, “…The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”(Judges 6:12) Gideon responded to the word of God stating,  “O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.” (Judges 6:13)
Just like Moses, Gideon was not in doubt but was asking with understanding. With humility, he wanted to know if he was competent enough to be God’s servant as the choice for God’s calling. Gideon was so humble when he responded to God’s assurance stating, “…O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.” (Judges 6:15) Gideon’s last response prompted God to Gideon with promise that was certain stating, “…Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.” (Judges 6:16)
What a good God we have? Our God is a glorious God that will not neglect His children; God will not neglect children that knows how to ask with understanding. God is forever in position for anyone that will wait on Him. God’s promise will not fail if man will pass by obeying Him fully. With signs and wonders He will go with His children.
