God Gives us Victory

Judges 7:2 The LORD said to Gideon, "You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. In order that Israel may not boast against me that her own strength has saved her... After God had weeded down the army to 300 men He sent Gideon to attack the Midianites. After the battle had begun and they were routing the Midianites Gideon's men were hungry exhausted yet they continued the pursuit. Gideon and his men asked for help from two cities but neither would help them. But God in His mercy gave them strength and they pursued the Midianites and overtook them. 15,000 Midianite soldiers were fleeing from a force of 300. The Midianites had a 50 to 1 advantage. But they were already defeated in mind and spirit. God had convinced them of Gideons invincibility and their inevitable  doom. God's glory is revealed more when there's less humans trying to take it. God wants to do great things through us but He also wants that we give Him all the glory.
