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,
8 So Gideon sent the rest of the Israelites to their tents but kept the three hundred, who took over the provisions and trumpets of the others.
Logically, in a war it didn’t make sense for Gideon to reduce the number of men who were fighting. Any reasonable person would think the more people you have in the fight, the greater your chances are to win. However, Gideon put his logic to the side and chose to obey the Lord. He chose to put more faith in God than reason.
When God gives us any idea or command, we should act on that idea or command. Our actions may seem foolish, silly, or tedious but, do it. Obedience is our entitlement to our success. Once our obedience is in motion, we should prepare to reap our harvest.
