300. No more. No less.

Was encouraged by Judges 7 where Gideon was told by God that he had too many people.

2 The LORD said to Gideon, “The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’ 3Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home and hurry away from Mount Gilead.’” Then 22,000 of the people returned, and 10,000 remained.

God continued to dwindle the army down until Gideon was left with 300 men (v.6-8). This was 300 men to fight the Midianites and the rest. Because God wanted ALL the glory and so the Israelites would not boast in themselves.

I know a lot of times we are depressed because of lack of numbers, but in the end, only ONE really matters. Whether God is with us or not. It wasn’t the 300 that won the battle, it was the one whom fought for the 300.

That is FAITH. Our faith is not the strength of our belief, but the ONE in WHOM we believe. To all the naysayers out there who think we are too small, we are insignificant, we are weak… to them, I reply… do not look at us because we are small, because it isn’t us who will win this, but the ONE in whom we trust.

We trust in JESUS.
