How do we know that God can use a few to achieve great things?

Answered in 1 source

Historical accounts in the Bible show that God often uses a small number of people to accomplish His purposes.

The narrative of Jonathan and his armor-bearer in 1 Samuel 14 exemplifies how God works through individuals, regardless of their numbers. Despite Israel's smaller size and limited resources, Jonathan expressed faith that 'the Lord will work for us.' This highlights that God's effectiveness is not bound by human limitations. Furthermore, the New Testament recounts Jesus choosing only twelve apostles to spread the Gospel, showing His pattern of using a few to reach many. Scripture such as 1 Corinthians 1:27 further emphasizes that God chose the foolish and weak to confound the wise and strong, reminding us that it is God's work, not the strength of man, that prevails.
