5/3 1 Samuel 14:6

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."

Jonathan was the son of King Saul. He had surely heard the story of Gideon and his band of 300 routing a countless army of invaders. He knew in his heart that if God was with you, the odds against you did not matter. He determined that if the Philistines called him to come up the hill to them, then God was going to deliver them into his hands. But if they said to stay where they saw him, then it was not to be at that time.

Sure enough, they called him to come up to them. He and his armor bearer went up against overwhelming odds, and a great defeat of the Philistines followed. God and one are a majority. Jonathan did not look at the size of the army he was facing, but at the greatness of his God.

We are always tempted to look at the physical and make calculations, but if God's will is involved, then all the practical reasoning in the world goes out the window. He can do as He pleases. He is never limited by circumstances. Faith looks at the greatness of God not the circumstances.

When we are led by the Spirit of God, we have to fix our gaze on the greatness of God or we will become fearful and doubt His will. Our trust must be in Him and His Word and not in our own ability, statistics, programs, or previous success. God does great things through us when we will listen for His leading and act on it in faith.

Consider: Has the Lord been leading you to do something that just doesn't seem reasonable? Fix your eyes on His greatness and step out in faith.
