1Sa 14:6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore 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 restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few.”
At this time in history the Israelites were living in great fear. They were vastly out – numbered and out- armed by the Philistines . The majority of them were hiding in caves, in thickets, in rocks and in holes and in pits and without any arms ( 1Sa 13:6). King Saul , with an army of six hundred were at Gibeah .
Jonathan with his armor – bearer decided to take the battle to the Philistines. He decided that it was not a time to sit back , but a time to fight for the kingdom. That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men within about a half an acre of land. And as Jonathan and his servant attacked and defeated the outpost, an earthquake began and God sent the Philistines into a panic. King Saul and the Israelites army joined and routed the Philistines.
Nothing can keep God from saving , whether by few or many . The situation you are facing may be described as “impossible”. Like the Israelites army, you may be “hiding” away from the current challenge because you are outnumbered, out – armed and lack capacity , resources etc. For us to do the seemingly impossible things, we need faith like that of Jonathan . Its time for you to do what is in your heart. God is right there with you and your first step will cause an ” earthquake” in the enemy’s territory. You will divinely overcome every challenge in Jesus name !
