What drive Jonathan and his armor bearer courageously and boldly attacked the garrison of enemy with just the two of them. It is Faith of what God will do through them.
1 Samuel 14:6 (NIV) 6 Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.” God sees our heart and motives. Many who will witness what Jonathan did can immediately think how stupid it can be for just the two of them to go up and attack the territory of the enemies. But it is not Jonathan himself drives him to do it but a strong desire in his heart to actually do something and seek Gods' council about it. At the end God blessed them and they went home with victory. They were able to do it because they chose to listen and obey to the voice of God and do the crazy act that nobody out of 600 men even dared to do. Those men was planning and relying out of their own ability but Jonathan and his armor bearer trusted to what God will do through what they can offer. Courage out of arrogance is nothing but garbage. A noisy sound coming out from a clashing cymbals. As women and men of God, we take courage from the core of the heart of God. We can have the guts to do the most challenging things of our lives out from the faith that we have to our Big God who calls us out from every Nations to do exactly what we are doing. For others it can just simply standing in front of the crowd, lead the worship, share a testimony, even cooking for the church, leaving our old life, fear of lack, go to mission fields and taking big step to leadership team. We all take a fair share of challenges irregardless if it's small or big in the eyes of others, nobody can ever measure the fear that we have but ourselves and nobody can even supply the enough courage that we need to do it BUT GOD. ONLY GOD can ever put that Courage for us to conquer our fears and be courageous to do our assignment here on earth! So COURAGEOUS MEN AND WOMEN!!!! Stand up! |
