Grace for your spirit December 3, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor. "Come and let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised;  perhaps the Lord will work for us, for the Lord is not restrained to save by many or by few."  I Samuel 14:6

As usual, King Saul of Israel found himself out manned and out gunned by his arch rivals, the Philistines.  Saul was frozen in fear and indecisiveness, so his son Jonathan decided to give the leading to the Lord.  Jonathan and the young man gave the battle to the Lord.  Two against thousands.  The Lord turned the battle for Israel, and gave them a great victory that day.  God is always happy to rise up and give those who trust in Him a victory.  God truly enjoys fighting many with a few, because then He will get the glory for the victory.  Let's not be dismayed when we are outnumbered.  God does His best work when we are down and almost out.
