1st Samuel 14:6. “And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us: for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few.”
THE POWER OF GOD vs THE FOOLISHNESS OF A MAN. God moved a man who had God’s interests at heart - A king moved a nation at his own foolish whim. God used a man to do way beyond his part - A king was going to kill his son who knew God better than him.
God has given promises, we can count on every one – Men make promises they know they can’t fulfill. God saves to the uttermost making us His sons – Men can only be trusted if others bow to their will.
God can do through frail men great exploits to His glory – Men are willing to act if they think it will them please. God uses feeble men to declare to the world His story – Men want what they want, so a compromising moment will seize.
God can use a few to do great and wonderful things – Men plan and scheme to gain personal advantage. God may use many so that many His praises sing – Men want personal honor using power as leverage.
God’s power is in a message of salvation to the lost – Man’s power is in his numbers to overwhelm some obstacle. God’s power is seen in lives changed who do not count the cost Of walking with the few, not the many who are willful.
“I have seen Thy power O God, witnessed in the lives of those to whom Thou hast revealed Thy Son as their Savior. Give each one in Thy service courage, and save by the many or by few to Thy own glory. Amen.”
