GOD MATH: A Family Devotional

DAY 2 OF 10

300 men + God

If you had to battle an army of 135,000 people who hated your guts, how many people would you want on your team? I’d want 135,001…at least. But when Gideon gathered an army to fight the evil Midianites, God told him it was too big. Remember, God Math doesn’t always make sense to human minds!

Why did God tell Gideon his army was too big? (The answer is in Judges 7:2)

God wanted the Israelites to know that he was the one who rescued them, not their super powerful army or their brilliant planning. Nope. He let them have trumpets, clay jars, and torches. But with God, those weird items in the hands of 300 men made the entire army of 135,000 Midianites run away screaming.

God’s unexpected math equation was 300 men + God = Victory!
