13 When Gideon came , behold , a man was relating a dream to his friend . And he said , "Behold , I had a dream ; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian , and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell , and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat ."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Judges 7:13
Commentary on Judges 7:9-15
(Read Judges 7:9-15)
The dream seemed to have little meaning in it; but the interpretation evidently proved the whole to be from the Lord, and discovered that the name of Gideon had filled the Midianites with terror. Gideon took this as a sure pledge of success; without delay he worshipped and praised God, and returned with confidence to his three hundred men. Wherever we are, we may speak to God, and worship him. God must have the praise of that which encourages our faith. And his providence must be acknowledged in events, though small and seemingly accidental.
