“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.

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.”
