Gideon uses 'As thou hast said,' in such a manner to bring revelation of the word, which is theophany user-friendly and Gideon asks further proof which God is willing to allow. When Abraham similarly draws God with hypothetical questions God let him speak on."And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto theLord, which am but dust and ashes:/Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five?(Ge.18:27-28)" Where God had foreknown heroes of faith like Abraham and Gideon (He.11:8,32) their common ground is trust. Enoch walked with God is one way of empowering man to lift further than possible. Gideon by nature timid and who knew his place, ("Behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house"-v.15) however was not a quitter. When his winepress was unviable he would convert it as threshing floor in order to support his family. In the face of adversities wine was no longer the means to 'make glad the hearts of men' but he had the word of God to fall back upon. The providential God gave His creation 'meat in due season' as He preserved him as matter of course (Ps.104:15a, 27).
In the sign Gideon sought from God the Spirit instructs us at different level. The floor is the world of Gideon as against the ground. Which metaphorically teaches with the illustration of an island brings in its wake the sea though it is unsaid. Or in a face-vase image where you fix your attention is only your subjective. God looks at body soul and spirit as glory of God and Power. Gestalt psychology of divine Mind thus empowers body of some so they may rely on God and trust Him to supply the shortfall in other areas. St Paul could understand this so he would say"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." (2 Co.12:9)
