"And the LORD Looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy Might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?" Judges 6:14.
WHAT A LOOK was that which the LORD gave to Gideon!
HE LOOKED him out of his discouragements into A HOLY BRAVERY. IF OUR LOOK TO THE LORD SAVES US, WHAT WILL NOT HIS LOOK AT US DO? LORD, LOOK ON me this day, and nerve me for it's duties and conflicts.
What a WORD was this which the LORD JEHOVAH spoke to Gedion!
"Go" He must not hesitate. He might have answered, "WHAT GO IN ALL THIS WEAKNESS !" But the LORD put that word out of court by saying, "GO IN THIS THY MIGHT." THE LORD HAD LOOKED MIGHT INTO him, and he had now nothing to do but to use it, and save Israel by smiting the Midianites. IT MAY BE THAT THE LORD HAS MORE TO DO BY YOU AND ME THAN WE EVER DREAMT OF. IF HE HAS LOOKED UPON US HE HAS MADE US STRONG.
Let us by FAITH EXERCISE THE POWER WITH WHICH HE HAS ENTRUSTED US.
HE never bids me "idle away my time in this my might." FAR FROM IT. I must "go," BECAUSE HE STRENGTHENS ME.
What a question is that which the LORD puts to me even as HE put it to Gideon! "HAVE NOT I SENT THEE?" YES LORD, THOU HAST SENT ME, AND I WILL GO IN THE STRENGTH.
AT THY COMMAND I GO, AND GOING, I AM ASSURED THAT THOU WILT CONQUER BY ME. Amen.

Dear Friends this passage really blessed my heart.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Hebrews 13:21
Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work
And we need fear NO MAN, because;
Jousha 1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
Jousha 1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Therefore we muyst take heed to this WORD OF GOD IN
2 Chronicles 15:7 - Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
BECAUSE AS JESUS IS SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.1 John 4:17 Amen.
Have a Great day!
