Judges 6:16 (NKJV) 16 And the Lord said to him, \u201cSurely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man.\u201d<\/p>\n

I remember learning the story of Gideon many, many years ago. I was fascinated when I first learned about it.<\/p>\n

Gideon went to battle against the Midianites and defeated them with only 300 men, which is the number of men God had specifically told Gideon to take with him.<\/p>\n

Even today it still fascinates me. And it seems that every time I read through it, I learn something new that I hadn\u2019t seen before.<\/p>\n

The fact that Gideon defeated the Midian army with only 300 men is incredible. In fact, it is miraculous, since the Bible says that the Midianite and Amalekite armies that they were facing were as numerous as locusts!<\/p>\n

But what strikes me even more about this whole thing isn\u2019t Gideon\u2019s victory. It\u2019s the way God chooses to move so uniquely in so many different scenarios.<\/p>\n

God rarely, if ever, chooses to do things the same way twice when it comes to how He handles situations that require His intervention.<\/p>\n

He does this purposely. And one of the reasons is so no man can try to claim credit or take the glory for the things they accomplish.<\/p>\n

God has a habit of taking the playbook and throwing it away. This tends to confound and confuse man\u2019s intellectual understanding and planning, which I find exciting, amusing and exhilarating all at the same time.<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 1:27 (NKJV) 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;<\/p>\n

You see, God is who He is, and He answers to no man. So, when I see Him switching things up and doing things His way, instead of the way we expect Him to do it, I find that incredibly satisfying.<\/p>\n

It just solidifies His sovereignty and proves how much higher His ways are than our ways.<\/p>\n

And as a child of God who is learning more every day about walking and living by the spirit, instead of the flesh, seeing God move this way brings me an incredible sense of security and satisfaction.<\/p>\n
