I Samuel 14:6
“Jonathan said to his armor bearer, ‘Come on now, let’s go across to these uncircumcised pagans. Maybe GOD will work for us. There’s no rule that says GOD can only deliver by using a big army. No one can stop GOD from saving when he sets his mind to it.’”
“Let’s go across to the outpost of those pagans,’ Jonathan said to his armor bearer. ‘Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or a few.’”
Jonathan leaps onto the pages of scriptures with a fully formed, powerful faith. What person(s) sowed and watered the faith seed in his life? From him we learn the salvation God offers is mighty and does miraculous things. It can make us into a Jonathan and empower us to do mighty deeds too. Whether public or in secret, our reward will also be amazing.
Lord, grace me with the faith of a Jonathan. Let me see victories there for the taking. May I step up boldly into the salvation you offer, learning to put your power to work according to your purpose. Help me to run my race well.
