“A few well-trained and humble warriors are better than a large, arrogant army (Judg. 7:2). God can and will only use those who give Him all the glory. He occasionally reduces His forces to guarantee that the victories earned are so improbable as to be attributed only to Him. Gideon’s army was reduced from 32,000 to 300—less than 1 percent of the original force actually won the victory. This minority used its smallness shrewdly (7:17) by employing strategic thinking. Smallness is no excuse for stupidity.”
