The Bible is not God. It is designed to act as a guide to knowing its Author. It is designed to give us a desire and understanding about this God who is living, active, and near to us.  (Greg Denison 9/21/18)

The future of Israel was in jeopardy. A massive Midianite army numbering 135,000 troops (Judges 8:10) was ready to annihilate the Jewish forces. Gideon mustered 32,000 soldiers, but the Lord led him to dismiss all but three hundred (Judges 7:2-8). God’s purpose was to show the Israelites that their deliverance came from the Lord and not from their hand.  (James Denison 9/21/18)

God is a mighty God.  Do we believe that?  I read where Gideon had only 300 soldiers facing a massive Midianite army numbering 135,000 troops depending & believing God’s word that their deliverance would come from Him and not from their hand.  That took faith and belief.  Do I have that kind of faith?  No I don’t, but I do know that when I look back on my life, I see the hand of God’s leading and directing. I read somewhere that “we should attempt something so big that if God is not in it, it will fail”. Gideon really put that to a test; a big test, but God wanted Gideon, and us. to believe that deliverance comes from Him and not us.
