judges 6:36-40

then Gideon said to God, "if You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said, behold i am laying a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. if there is dew on the fleece alone and it is dry on all the ground, then i shall know that You will save Israel by my hand as You have said."

and it was so. when he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

then Gideon said to God, "let not Your anger burn against me; let me speak just once more. please let me test just once more with the fleece. please let it be dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground let there be dew."

and God did so that night. and it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.

i love this story because though Gideon was recorded in hebrews for his faith, we see here that he was not a man of perfect faith. God called him, and Gideon questioned. i love that the Lord chooses us even in our weakness, when we lack courage and faith. so cool.
