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 strength has saved her.’ “

The Lord’s power in us is dwelling in very fragile jars of clay…but that doesn’t stop those flimsy vessels from grandiose ideas of what they think they can do. Knowing this, the Lord wanted to made sure that Israel realized exactly by Who their victory would come. Thus God whittled Gideon’s troop size down to 300 from 32,000 fighting men to show precisely where their victory was coming from.
