At this point, I would imagine that Gideon is still psyched up about the miracoulous victory. Still high on adrenaline and excitement. So why now does some criticism rear its ugly head to rob him of his success?

How often have you known some element of your life going SO well and then someone says something or does something or something just happens just to ruin it?

We need to remember that sometimes criticism is for our own good. A prime example of this is Paul's 'thorn in the flesh' to keep him humble.

What we want isn't always the same as what we need.
