God can do

more with less.

God can do more with less.

God can do more with less.

Passage

"The Lord said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength has saved me.’"

Judges 7:2

Perspective

We're conditioned to think that success requires more—more resources, more people, more money, more time.


But Gideon’s story challenges this belief.


Gideon wasn’t a likely hero. He was hiding, afraid, and felt small.


Yet, when God called him to face a powerful enemy, Gideon rallied 32,000 men.


For a moment, it seemed like they had a chance—until God started reducing his army.


Gideon was left with just 300 men.


By any measure, this was a recipe for disaster.


You don’t win by cutting your resources by 99%!


But God's math ≠ human math.


Where we see limitations, God sees potential.


Where we count heads, God counts hearts.

Practice

In a culture that glorifies excess, we need to be okay with less.


In God’s hands, less isn’t a liability; it’s an opportunity to witness a mighty miracle.


Where we see subtraction, God sees multiplication.


The next time you feel like you don’t have enough to do what He has asked you to do, try doing LESS:

L

LISTEN

Spend time in prayer and reflection, asking God to guide you in identifying what truly matters.

E

ELIMINATE

As He shows you what needs to go, release it. Remove it and let go of any reliance on it.

S

SURRENDER

Trust God with what’s left. Surrender control and allow Him to strengthen your faith.

S

STEP

Move forward in faith, led by the Holy Spirit, and follow God’s will, step by step.

Prayer

God,

Thank you for giving me all that I need.

I admit that I often cling to the wrong things all while expecting You to give me more.

In my uncertainty, I forget to trust You with what You’ve already placed in my life.

I let go of my need for more.

Open my eyes to see the value of the resources that are already in my hands.

I trust that You are able to do infinitely more than I can even ask or imagine.

I am relying fully on You.

And I can't wait to see the miracles you'll do.

In Jesus’ name I pray,

Amen.
