You may suppose that when God reduced the Israelite army led by Gideon by two-thirds—not once but twice—He was weeding out the weak members. Not so, says Alistair Begg! Instead, God was showing His people that while they couldn’t defeat the vast armies they were facing, He could. When they gained victory over their enemies, the Israelites’ inadequacy demonstrated God’s sufficiency. Likewise, when we are tempted to bolster ourselves, we need to remind ourselves that God’s strength is made perfect in weakness.
