And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
Judges 7:11
The strength in your hands is a function of the words in your ears. The words of others can supply, or sap, your confidence.
With this in mind, here are 2 ways to engage with this insight.
The first way is to do what Gideon did, which is to go down and listen to pre-filtered/pre-vetted conversations that you already know are going to be encouraging. Doing this with someone else who also has skin in the game can amplify the results of listening to encouraging conversations.
And the second way involves you having a conversation with yourself about your revelation of God. Who do you say that I am?
The strength of your hands is affected by how well you coordinate the conversations that you allow yourself to hear…particularly the ones you have with yourself.
