Biblical Battles: Gideon and His 300 Men

The tale of Gideon is legendary: attacking 135,000 men with only 300. This is entirely different from the story of 300 Spartans defending against the Persians — a shield wall in a narrow pass rendering the march useless. No, this is 300 ATTACKING a much larger force… who retreats, terrified.

“How?” we ask, over and over. “By faith,” God answers, over and over. And that faith is born of trust: trust in an almighty God, trust that when He says He has a plan, it’s worth listening to, and trust that He will deliver us no matter the difficulty, disappointment, or danger ahead.

Today, we hone our trust, and in doing so, we hone our faith.

Scriptures today: Judges 7:1-25
