It's all about Gideon this week. The more I bring what God did with Him before the Lord the more I am in awe of the lesson it has left for us now. "Sorry Gideon, you have too many soldiers to kick the Midianites' butts." How often do we bring before God our "too little" and just complain about it?
Not once did Gideon complain or question God in His decreasing of the troops. If he would have I'm sure it would have been noted. If you take a look at chapter 6 Gideon show himself to be someone who has no fear of questioning God and double checking God's direction. God starts telling him that he has too many soldiers and all Gideon does is obey.
Things I have complained about in my life as "too little" or "not right" or "i don't like it this way" . . . .

Money.
Family.
Car.
Job.
School.
Marriage.
Kids.
Co-workers.
Boss.
Church.
Pastor.
Worship Leader.
Small Group.
Vacation.
Clothes.
Toys.
Food.
Cell Phones.
Electronics.
Friends.
Faith.
Love.

The list could go on, right?

The thing is, God could have defeated the Midianites with just Gideon flying solo. He probably only kept the 300 around so that Gideon wouldn't have a major freak out session.
He didn't need the 300 though. The Midianites ended up slaughtering each other in confusion. God truly did "hand" the Midianites to Gideon.

Why?

To show the Israelites His power. To get all of the glory for Himself. After all, the Israelites sure enjoyed giving glory and worship to other gods during this time. So God wanted this one all for Himself; as it should have been anyway.

So again, the question of, what do we complain about as too little...or not the way you expected things to be...or not liking something or someone a certain way etc...?

I'm pretty sure God has you in that "too little" situation to bring about some major glory His way. We need to have a serious heart-attitude check in regards to this. To become Gideons and see the "too little" as a huge opportunity to see God move in a powerful and awesome way!
