I marveled at how human Gideon was when the angel of God came to him and showed him miracles and he kept wanting more and more proof that it was God will that he do what the messenger from God told him he was to do to save Israel from the Midianites and Amalakites. Gideon didn 't feel good enough to be called upon for such a task and kept asking God to prove himself by completing tasks .He was even afraid God would get angry with him but kept asking for proof anyway .God did not get angry with Gideon but did the tasks he requested .God knew Gideon felt inadequate and afraid so He put Gideon 's mind at ease by doing what Gideon asked. All this was done by a mighty and loving God in order to use Gideon to deliver His people Israel from suffering again. This chapter shows to me Gideon 's human frailties and Jehovah God 's loving kindness and patience .
