We see today how God is able to accomplish his purposes in and through his people using his own means, not the means man would choose. He systematically pares down the army of Gideon so in human terms they have no chance of defeating the Midianites. He gives the Galatians the Gospel, which is God's power but appears as foolishness in man's eyes. Our God works in ways that we cannot imagine.
What is our response? How do we do the works God appoints to us? We do them by trusting in the merit of Christ. We do them by realizing that it is by grace we are saved, not of works. There is no boasting allowed. We trust in Christ's sufficiency for everything.
