Judges 7:1-8. Like he did for Gideon, the Lord often places us in situations that seem impossible. He trains us to give up on our own strength and trust in him alone, relying only on his promises, so that the credit goes to God. Preached on September 19, 2010, for the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost, at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church, Hancock, MN.
