Gideon was the least in his family that belonged to the weakest tribe among all the tribes of Israel. Yet he was able to defeat 135,000 Midianite men with 300 only soldiers by obeying God’s word. Moses and Joshua also won the battle against the Amalekites by obeying God’s word. In the same way, even today, victory in all situations comes from believing in God’s help and obeying Him.
Just as Isaiah prophesied, “God will make the smallest a mighty nation,” those who realise that everything on this earth is being accomplished according to God’s plan and obey God’s word, even in what seems trivial, will be blessed.
“But Lord,” Gideon asked, “. . . My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” The LORD answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together.”
Judges 6:15–16
“Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will do this swiftly.”
Isaiah 60:21–22
