I love the story of Gideon found in the book of Judges. Gideon ‘did as the Lord told him’ (Judges 6:27), even though he risked death (v.30). When fear knocked on the door of his life, faith was his answer! The secret of Gideon’s power was that ‘the Spirit of the Lord came upon [him]’ (v.34).
God does not need large numbers. In fact he said to Gideon, ‘you have too many men’ (7:2). He does not want the people to think it was their own strength that saved them. He reduced the numbers from 32,000 to 300 (vv.1–7).
We do not need large numbers to see our nation transformed but we do need the power of the Holy Spirit. If you are confident in God, he can work through you as he did through Gideon.
Don’t be self-confident today; be God confident.
Make a difference…
