JONATHAN’S FAITH IN THE LORD

Date : Jun 05, 2024
Passage : 1Samuel 14:1~23
Keyverse : 6

While Saul stayed on the outskirts of Gibeah, unsure about what to do next, his son Jonathan and his armor-bearer slipped out of the camp. They went to see the Philistine outpost. Unlike Saul, Jonathan was not worried about how many would fight with him. In fact, there were only two of them! Jonathan saw the Philistines as uncircumcised men; that is, they were not God’s people. Jonathan knew that the LORD could save Israel, whether by many or by few. He had faith and courage in God who could do anything. This faith inspired Jonathan’s armor-bearer to also fight.

Jonathan and his armor-bearer showed themselves to the Philistines. The Philistines told them to come up. This was the LORD’s sign. They killed twenty Philistines. Then God sent a panic into the Philistine camp. The Philistines were confused and turned on each other. Saul had no idea what was going on, but he finally led his men into battle. Other Israelites came out and fought. The LORD saved Israel on that day.

In your situation, is your faith wholly in God who can do anything? Does your faith and courage also inspire others to put their faith in God? No matter what you are facing, have faith in God today!
Application: Lord, you can save by many or by few. Help me not to be afraid but to have faith in you.
One Word: Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving
