A prayer for small miracles by Greg Lorry.

Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you.

Consider the outcome of their way of life and

imitate their faith. Hebrews 13-7. The Israelites lived in fear of their enemies

the Midianites. The Midianites had numbers so large they were described in the Bible as

being as numerous as locusts. They were everywhere and the children of Israel were

greatly outnumbered. They needed to defeat the Midianites, but they needed someone to lead them.

So God found a man named Gideon. When we're first introduced to Gideon and judges six,

he was hiding from his enemies, threshing wheat.

Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and said,

The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor.

I can imagine Gideon looking around and saying who are you talking to me if there was anything Gideon was not at that moment it was a mighty man of valor

But through a series of events in Gideon's life, he was transformed and became a man of great courage.

He summoned the people to go into battle against the Midianites.

Then the Lord came to Gideon one day and delivered a message that I'm sure he wasn't

pleased to hear. His army was too big. Maybe Gideon said, you're joking. I love it

when you joke, Lord. Too big? We're already outnumbered and and were too big. But God wasn't kidding. He didn't

want anyone to say they defeated the Midianites in their own strength. So he gave Gideon a test for the

men that would thin out the ranks.

In the end, Gideon was left with 300 men, and with 300 men God defeated the Midianites.

You see, our numbers don't have to be large. God can do a lot with little and

God can use little people to do big things. You are never too small for God to use
