Against The Odds

Why would God lead Gideon into battle with an army of only 300 men against an army of 135,000 Midianites? Gideon placed his trust in the Lord even against overwhelming odds. When you feel that the odds are against your favor and the Lord is leading you into battle, remember Gideon. He went on to victory because he dutifully followed the Lord. When you feel the odds are stacked against you, could God be using you to demonstrate His strength?

[Daily Bible Devotions]



Judges 7:7 ...  And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.

Psalm 140:7 ... O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

Psalm 24:8 ... Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
