You, yes you...

 When the people of Israel cried out to the LORD on account of the Midianites, the LORD sent a prophet to the people of Israel. And he said to them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: I led you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of slavery. And I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out before you and gave you their land. And I said to you, ‘I am the LORD your God; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell.’ But you have not obeyed my voice.”
 Now the angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.” And Gideon said to him, “Please, sir, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” And the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” (Judges 6:7-14 ESV)
As the people of Israel once again repeated their cycle of sin, suffering, supplication, and salvation, they again cried out to God after a long time of ignoring Him. His response to answer their prayer was to approach Gideon, who was one of those crying out to God, as he in fear was trying to hide his wheat from the Midianites.  Yet, it does not compute that God is answering his prayer and those of his people. When we cry out to God, do we trust His answer when he says "you are part of the answer"? Gideon began to make excuses, totally ignoring God's one piercing question: "Do not I send you?" The question is: "Do I trust in the God who is answering our prayer?"  Do I believe He can use even me?"
