Gideon

Judges 6 starts the story of Gideon. The land is oppressed by the Midianites and so Gideon is hiding away in a winepress threshing wheat and an angel of the Lord says to him "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior" and Gideon's response is- if the Lord is with us, why are things so bad for us? An appropriate response to seeing an angel of the Lord? I'm not sure. The Lord might have been smacking himself of the head after that. So what does the angel do? He tells Gideon that Gideon is going to save Israel! Something about stop whining about the problem when YOU are the solution goes through my head.
Gideon then asks God for a number of signs, which God gives him, and he finally goes off and trounces the Midiantes in a battle that truly belonged to the Lord as he took only 300 men to fight thousands.
He gets some gold from the plunder which he makes into an ephod but unfortunately "it became a snare to Gideon and his family"(Judges 8:27). So even though there can be a great God-time, you can't live there- you have to watch for snares all the time!

I'll just end with a side note about Abimelech, the guy who uses money to hire "reckless adventurers"(Judges 9:4) and then gets a millstone dropped on his head by a woman. This line cracked me up Judges 9:55 When the Israelites saw that Abimelech was dead. they went home . That's it, they just went home!
