God MathНамуна

This week, we’re diving into “God math”—things God tells us to do that don’t add up to us but are perfectly logical to Him.
Today, the perplexing account of Gideon’s army.
If I told you to prepare for war, wouldn’t you try to gather the largest army possible? Especially if your enemy far outnumbers you?
In Judges 7, we can read the story of Gideon and his army preparing to face a massive enemy force:
The Midianites, the Amalekites and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts. Their camels could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore. – Judges 7:12
You’d think this would be an excellent time for God to do a multiplication miracle, right? But God’s math was quite the opposite. He told Gideon:
“You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength has saved me’.” – Judges 7:2
God made Gideon reduce his army from 32,000 to 300 men–but still gave them the victory.
This story is a great reminder that absolutely nothing is impossible for God and that He alone deserves the credit for every victory in our lives.
Are you facing an impossible situation right now? Does it feel like God is stripping away your support instead of adding to it? Take heart–He hasn’t forgotten you! Like Gideon, trust that God is in control, setting you up for victory.
Pray this with me:
Heavenly Father, You know what I’m facing, and I know that You have already prepared a way through it. Thank You for the countless victories You have brought about in my life, and I can’t wait to see the next one! In Jesus’ name, amen.
Hey! You are a Chamatkar
