Fully Rely On God

In Judges 7, Gideon is preparing for battle against a massive Midianite army. Gideon starts with 32,000 soldiers, but God does something unexpected—He reduces the army to only 300 men. Why? Because God wanted Israel to understand that victory would come from Him, not from their own strength. When we fully rely on God, He often removes the things we rely on so we can experience His power more clearly. In the process, God develops three important character traits in us: humility, faith, and readiness.
