Judges 7 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

Gideon is encouraged.

The dream seemed to have little meaning in it; but the interpretation evidently proved the whole to be from the Lord, and discovered that the name of Gideon had filled the Midianites with terror. Gideon took this as a sure pledge of success; without delay he worshipped and praised God, and returned with confidence to his three hundred men. Wherever we are, we may speak to God, and worship him. God must have the praise of that which encourages our faith. And his providence must be

acknowledged in events, though small and seemingly accidental. (Jdg 7:16-22)
