An Unblinkered Look at Gideon

We find the program for how the people of God can defeat their enemies and rule well, as those who are called to righteousness and humility under the ultimate Lordship of the Messiah, even now that He has ascended to the Throne of heaven and earth, no longer the suffering Servant, but the righteous, reigning, sovereign King of heaven and earth. God doesn't even need 300 to conquer the powers of earth, in fact He took the Throne with just one man, the Messiah. What then is there to learn from God as to how He chose to whittle the Israelite army down, and not just for one battle, but for how the faithful are to honor God in every endeavor, no matter how great or small?
