6 And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord.
7 And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord because of the Midianites,
8 That the Lord sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
10 And I said unto you, I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
11 And there came an angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
14 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.
Note: while the prophet declares his, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel message, the angel of the Lord is looking for the man who is about to deliver the people from the hand of the enemy.
The prophet reminds the people of their past sins while the angel is about to speak to Gideon about their future deliverance.
The prophet states the cause for all the woes the people are suffering, the angel reveals there will soon be relief: thou shalt save Israel.
The prophet and the angel are both right and on target. The people have disobeyed God but God is readying to save them.
The pivotal point is: and the children of Israel cried unto the Lord. That activated both the prophet and the angel.
My friend, today, God has heard your cry. Though we have sinned he abundantly pardons. All it takes is your returning to him, crying out to him. He hears and the angel of the Lord is ready to put all things into position for your great deliverance. Hallelujah!
