Episode #010: God Can do More with Less
Manage episode 277252659 series 2793600
Are you aware that God can do more with less? If you have ever felt that you don’t have enough to succeed in life, pursue your dreams, achieve a goal, overcome opposition, rise from a bad situation, start a business, etc., I strongly encourage you to read about the story of Gideon, in book of Judges, chapter 6 and 7.
In a nutshell, the Israelites were taken over by the Midianites and were treated harshly and became very discouraged that the Lord was even still with them. An angel appeared to Gideon and called him a MIGHTY WARRIOR and told him he would defeat the Midianites and free the Israelites.
Herein lies the problems:
- Gideon doubted the Lord was with them because of their current situations. After the angel of the Lord appeared to him and called him a mighty warrior, Gideon said, “If the Lord is with us, WHY HAS ALL THIS HAPPENED TO US?” (Judges 6:13 NIV)
- Gideon was too focused on what he could do in his OWN STRENGTH. Gideon had a very small army (about 32,000 men) in comparison to the army they were going to fight, which were too numerous to count. (Judges 7:12 NIV)
- Gideon had poor self-esteem. He was afraid and saw himself as a member of the weakest clan AND the least in his family (Judges 6:15 NIV)…. YET, the angel of the Lord called him a mighty warrior! (Judges 6:12 NIV). God sees us as who we will become!!!
To make matters seemingly worse, the Lord reduced his army to only 300 men! All the remaining soldiers either left or were sent back home.
Why would God do this? Why would God choose to have Gideon go to war with LESS?
The Lord’s response was “In order that Israel may NOT BOAST against me that her OWN STRENGTH has saved her…” (Judges 7:2 NIV)
Against all odds, God gave Gideon an amazing STRAGEGY to defeat the Midianites with just a small group of men. Gideon was successful with LESS because God made it MORE!
I pray this bible story helps you to have faith in God to overcome all circumstances and to realize that no matter what your situation may look like, God’s promises for your life will always prevail. Dive more into the story of Gideon to increase your faith in God and confidently march in the battles as the mighty warrior that you are in Christ!
