This divine communication is significant, as it demonstrates God's personal involvement in the lives of His chosen leaders. Throughout the Old Testament, God often speaks directly to individuals to provide guidance, reassurance, or commands, as seen with figures like Moses (Exodus 3:4) and Samuel (1 Samuel 3:10). This direct communication underscores the importance of Gideon's role in delivering Israel from Midianite oppression.

Teaching Points God's Reassurance in FearJust as God reassured Gideon, He reassures us in our fears. We can trust in His peace and presence in our lives. Divine Calling and Human Doubt Gideon's initial fear and doubt are common human responses to divine calling. God is patient and provides assurance. Peace as a Gift from God The peace God offers is not just the absence of fear but a profound sense of well-being and security in His presence. God's Presence in Our Mission Like Gideon, we are called to tasks that may seem daunting, but God's presence is our strength and assurance. Transformation through Encounter Gideon's encounter with God transforms him from a fearful individual to a leader. Our encounters with God can similarly transform us.(23) The Lord said unto him.--How this intimation was given we are not told. The LXX. do not here change "the Lord" into "the angel of the Lord."
