Scripture Focus:
“The Lord said to Gideon, ‘You have too many men… Israel would boast against me, saying, ‘My own strength has saved me.’”
— Judges 7:2 (NIV)r anchor. It brings us back. It shifts our focus from the chaos to the calm presence of a loving Father who is always with us.

Devotional:

As I was meditating on the story of Gideon, I sensed the Lord whispering something deep and personal.

Gideon was not a warrior. In fact, he felt weak and unworthy. When God called him to deliver Israel, he responded,
“My clan is the weakest, and I am the least in my family.” (Judges 6:15)

Not only was Gideon overwhelmed, but he also questioned God:
“If the Lord is with us, why has all this happened? Why are the Midianites destroying everything — our crops, our provision?”

And yet, God didn’t choose someone powerful. He chose the least — so that His power would be made perfect in weakness.

But that was just the beginning. When it came time to fight, God reduced Gideon’s army from thousands to just 300 men — chosen in an unusual way, by how they drank water.aut
