Gideon’s Story
In the book of Judges, God called Gideon a mighty warrior before he did anything brave at all. Despite those amazing words, he struggled to believe in God and saw himself as the weakest person in his clan and the weakest in all of Israel. Because of this uncertainty, when God gave him a job, he questioned God, doubted his calling, complained and demanded multiple signs. God is so full of mercy and grace that He gave Gideon everything he asked for.
After beginning to trust God in a few small areas, Gideon was told to fight the Midianites, who had been oppressing the Israelites for years. Gideon brought 32,000 men with him, determined to beat the Midianites, but God told him it was too many. He repeatedly sent men away until there were only 300 left to fight. With such a small battalion, they needed a miracle to survive. God promised to give them victory, and He did. Not only was this battle won by Gideon with 300 men, but it was won using only trumpets and jars with torches in them.
