When Less is More!

When less is more!

During my studies this morning, I came across a wonderful case of ‘less is more’. So often, we aspire to be the important one, to possess the finest, or have the clout. However, that does not impress God. God habitually prefers those with less to do more. My example comes from Judges 6:15.

“’But Lord’, Gideon asked, ‘how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.’”

I am not sure how Gideon’s family members felt about this lowly kinfolk assessment, but for Gideon, it was how he saw it. This was his reality. Thankfully, God sees things differently; he looks at potential when we focus on mirrors. Through Gideon, a great victory was won because God took what was a limitation and created a miracle!

Each day, I try to apply this in my life. It is not who I am but who Christ is in me. After suffering a few heart attacks, I fully understand how limited we are, but God is unlimited. It is in His strength we live and move and have our being. Quit looking at your limits and focus on God’s might within you. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
