If there is one Bible story that has a striking resemblance with the movie "300", then it has to be the
story of Gideon, the only difference is that unlike in the movie, Gideon and his men didn't die, they won their battle. From having 32,000 soldiers, God cut down the number until just 300 men were left and with that few number, God defeated great armies. The easy assumption to make when you here this story is that those 300men must be super strong, warriors even, but see what Gideon said about himself when God came to recruit him for the task, Judges 6:15 - Gideon said to him, “Excuse me, sir! How can I rescue Israel? Look at my whole family. It’s the weakest one in Manasseh. And me? I’m the least important member of my family"[GW].

Hmmmm... So if God comes to you now and says He wants you to start a global fashion brand that would be trendy, classy without giving up on decency, what would your response be? If God says to you that you should come develop a media company with top notch creativity that can rival any in the world without any support from the foreign companies, would you believe? Does you believe the next JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs or even Berkshire Hathaway can come from you?
Gideon could have underrated himself all his life if God had not showed up. God is ready to show up for you too, but are you ready to change the way you see yourself? Within you, lies the power to change at least on thing in the world, believe it or not. God Bless You!
