And he said to him,

"Pray, Lord,

     how can I deliver Israel?

Behold, my clan is weakest 

                 in Manasseh,

and I am least in my family."

And the LORD said to him,

"But I will be with you..."

               Judges 6. 15-16

(His Presence makes

      all the difference.

There is always victory

          in obedience

sometimes in ways

    beyond our understanding.

"But I will be with you..."

How does that reality change

my vision in this situation?

How does God 

        change my heart?)
