Too Many Men

from Deep and Wide · host Joy Thomas

Gideon is sure that God is telling him to fight. He asked God to show him a sign with the fleece, and God did just what he wanted. Both times. Now Gideon has an army of 32,000 men. But God speaks to Gideon and tells him his army is too big. God tells Gideon to send 22,000 of them home. But 10,000 men is still too many. He wants the Israelites to know that it's God's power, not their own, that saves them. He takes them down to the water and separates them into two groups. Three hundred of them lap the water out of their hands. The rest of them kneel down to drink. How can three hundred men win? The enemy has 135,000 men!
