How are you living by faith in the battles of life?
Perceive: This story is a classic example of God bringing victory by a few. The young Prince Jonathan and his armor bearer relied upon the LORD and were directed by God into this battle. Once these two men had climbed the steep embankment, they killed twenty soldiers where the immediate effect was the spread of fear in the Philistine camp. It was the enemy’s response to Jonathan’s reliance on God. The Lord can save when men act in faith. What began as the adventure of a young man and his armor bearer soon became the cause of the whole nation. In the end, it was a victory for which God received the credit.
Practice: When you are facing a difficult situation, or a battle of huge consequence, to which you personally feel woefully inadequate, God will develop helpful circumstances as you rely on Him. The helping circumstances will arise as you faithfully continue to accept your calling and to act with some competence. The historical record of God’s faithfulness to His people should make us calm, strong, and immovable in any mission undertaken to advance Christ’s kingdom. How are you living by faith in the battles of life?
Pray: Lord, enable me to face my difficult situations with confidence knowing You are in control. Help me advance Your kingdom.
