What Does Judges 6:9 Mean?
The prophet's message continues to rehearse the Lord's mighty deeds. God delivered them from the hand of the Egyptians and from every oppressor, drove out the nations before them, and gave them the land they now inhabit. Each verb underscores divine initiative.
The repeated phrase 'out of the hand' answers their present plight, for they are now in the hand of Midian. The God who once freed them from a stronger grip can free them again. Recounting His salvation is not nostalgia but a foundation for hope. When we are pressed, the surest comfort is to trace the long record of how God has already carried us. The Deliverer of the past is the Deliverer of today.
