I Samuel 13:22
“So when the battle of Micmash was joined, there wasn’t a sword or spear to be found anywhere in Israel—except for Saul and his son Jonathan; they were both well-armed.”
“So on the day of the battle none of the people of Israel had a sword or spear, except for Saul and Jonathan.”
Can you imagine going into battle against a foe armed with iron tools, carrying only sticks and stones? Six-hundred men remained with Saul, very courageous men. Likely they were terrified, but more frightened of living with themselves if they ran away. Knowing they would probably be dead by nightfall they set their faces toward the enemy. The next verses show God working to bring about victory for these beleaguered souls. Do not give up on our faithful God who specializes in last minute deliveries.
Lord, when these moments come in my life may I turn expectantly to you, doing my best to engage but leaving the future in your hands.
