Would You Trust God If He Sent You Into A War Alone?

Judges 7:1-25

After Israel inhabited the Promised Land God sent various prophets and leaders to speak His Word and lead the people before they had a king. Gideon was one of these judges. God called him to lead Israel into battle with the Midianites.

The Midianite army had about 135,000 men. Gideon gathered an army of 32,000 men. However, God told Gideon that there were too many men in the army. Through a selection process, God cut the Israelite army down to just 300 men.

Asking the people who was fearful and afraid and to let them return...

Though Gideon was scared, he trusted God to prove His promise. God said they needed a smaller army so that people would know that it was God who won the battle, and not a large army.

Once time for the battle, The Midianites were so scared that many of them started fighting and killing one another thinking that Gideon’s army was all around them.

Through faith and trust Gideon, with a small army, conquered the Midianites.

Today, focus on trusting God and the path he has for you. Listen and watch for his words. He speaks to us in more ways than you may recognize.

Focus on allowing him to GUIDE YOU. Guide you the way he guided the Israelite army of 300 men in a victory over the Midianite arm of 135,000 men.
