Gideon was the son of Joash, from the Abiezrite clan in the tribe of Manasseh and lived in Ephra (Ophrah). As a leader of the Israelites, he won a decisive victory over a Midianite army despite a vast numerical disadvantage, leading a troop of 300 "valiant" men.
Gideon's Incredible Shrinking Army (Judges 6:33-7:15a) "The LORD said to Gideon, 'You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. In order that Israel may not boast against me that her own strength has saved her, announce now to the people, "Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead." ' So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained." (7:2-3)
God knows that men are great posers. Often, they choose machismo rather than humility that finds its strength in God. As for bragging rights, God reduced their numbers and crafted a battle plan that would leave no doubt about the source of their victory
*Fear* is fed when we ask *What if* .... *Faith* is Fed when we Boldly declare *Even if ...* Fear imagines the worst case scenario but faith says even at the worst case I have nothing to Fear.
