Gideon’s Army

Gideon is famous to us for his dramatic midnight victory with trumpet blasts and blazing torches over the Midianite army encamped by the Hill of Moreh, What we tend to forget is that God reduced his army from 32,000 to 300 troops so that nobody could ever boast of winning that battle by human strategy or strength. When God calls you into His service, He will ruthlessly remove all the resources you have trusted in until you have nothing left but God himself to rely on, and He gets all the glory in the end.
