Judges 8:4 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. — Judges 8:4
Source Coverage: Judges 8:4-12
Gideon's men were faint, yet pursuing; fatigued with what they had done, yet eager to do more against their enemies. It is many a time the true Christian's case, fainting, and yet pursuing. The world knows but little of the persevering and successful struggle the real believer maintains with his sinful heart. But he betakes himself to that Divine strength, in the faith of which he began his conflict, and by the supply of which alone he can finish it in triumph.
