1 Samuel, Chapter 14, verse 6.

Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor,

Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised.

It may be that the Lord will work for us,

for nothing can hinder the Lord from saving by many or by few.

I love this verse.

Jonathan, speaking to this young guy who's carrying his armor about the Philistines, saying,

hey, let's go over to this entire garrison of Philistine soldiers, and we can defeat them if the Lord

is with us. If the Lord works for us, that's the language. It may be the Lord will work for us.

And then I love this just statement of faith by Jonathan, for nothing can hinder the Lord

from saving by many or by few. In other words, Jonathan's like, I mean, there

maybe two of us, or there may be two hundred thousand of us. But either way, God can save. And it's

true. We see this all throughout the Old Testament. Like, just because Israel has a lot of soldiers

and well-trained soldiers at that, doesn't mean they win a battle. If God is not with them,

they always lose.

And similarly, thinking about Gideon in the book of judges, if it's just a few hundred people,

then they can have victory. If God is with them, everything hinges on the Lord working for us,

the Lord being with us, and the Lord can save by many or by few. And there's so many applications of this today.

I just want to encourage you specifically today to pray and live by faith in the power

of God to do what is humanly impossible.

The power of God to save.
