Give Your Little to God

Sometimes we can get discouraged when numbers seem to dwindle, or growth seems to have plateaued and become stagnant. Whether it's a bible study that you lead, a team that you're a part of, or your bank account, God can do amazing things with a little. In Judges 7 God had Gideon, the leader of an army of volunteers, to reduce his army’s numbers- Not once, but twice! He started with 32,000 men, and ending with only 300. That’s a 90% decrease! The opposing army had over 135, 000 trained soldiers. So, Gideon was severely outnumbered from the beginning. Then, God said "send 90% of your men home, and trust in Me for the victory." Wow! That a lot to give up, or not have with you. But, GOD! God is greater. God is able, and God takes care of His children. The end result was that with God on their side, Gideon’s 300 won the battle without ever unsheathing a sword. 

Most of us either know, or have heard that, "God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, nor His ways our ways", but we also must understand that His results are not our results. God created the universe from nothing. Trying to imagine what he can do with a little is really unfathomable. When you find yourself focusing on a small number remember that God sent 90% home, and won the battle with musical instruments and lights.

    This principle applies to faith, finances, time, health, courage, intellect, and anything else that you would call a deficiency. Whatever it is, no matter how small or insignificant you think it is, give it to God! 

So, what do you need done that only requires 10%?

I love you, and I'm praying for you.
