And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, "The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!" (Judges 6:12; NKJV)
"Valor" has to do with strength, might, efficiency.
Jehovah knew that Gideon had it in him to do His work before Gideon did. Our strength, might and efficiency is of and through Him. As long as He is with us, we too can be men and women of "valor" (see 2 Corinthians 3:5 and Philippians 4:13).
