The story of Gideon is a story of faith.  The place of victory was at the well of Harod.  The word “Harod” is properly translated “terror”, so the victory came after their faith was exercised at the place of terror.  Gideon was an ordinary man, full of ordinary weakness, finding it within himself to take God at His word even if the faith grip was weak.  As long as Gideon kept the grip of faith upon God’s word and acted, God worked the miracle and did the rest.
