Judges 7:2
2The Lord said to Gideon, “The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, alest Israel boast over me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’Judges 7:4
4And the Lord said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ shall go with you, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ shall not go.”1 Kings 17:4
4You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”Romans 4:17-21
17as it is written, b“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, cwho gives life to the dead and calls into existence dthe things that do not exist. 18In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, e“So shall your offspring be.” 19He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was fas good as dead ( gsince he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered hthe barrenness ▼▼Greek deadness
of Sarah’s womb. 20No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21fully convinced that jGod was able to do what he had promised. 2 Corinthians 4:7
