Meek to Mighty

15 "But Lord , " Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family."
Tear down your father's altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.

God delights in using the ‘least’. He continually does this. In both old and new testaments, Gods man isn’t the largest, the most educated, the mightiest or from the best lineage. Here God selects the most feeble of the weakest family…and calls him Mighty Warrior.
Something else I noticed, God picks a dude, who’s family is not only worshiping Baal, but is a leader in worshiping the wrong god (they owned the altar and asherah pole). The very reason God has allowed all this calamity, God picks from the midst.
