We take heed to lesson from The Word.
14:23
Faced with impossible odds (in human terms)
3000 Israelites with only two weapons
Versus Philistines
3000 chariots
6000 charioteers
Soldiers as numerous as the sand on the sea shore...
Options
I FLIGHT
II FREEZE
III FORCE your own way
IV Act in FAITH
V FOLLOW
I FLIGHT
Some flight is appropriate
Sometimes you need to stay and fight
Sometimes it is both.
II FREEZE
Sometimes it is a judicious wait.
III FORCE your own way
Force God to listen to you?
Treat God like a cosmic vending machine?
Versus "I desire obedience not sacrifice"
IV Act in FAITH
Two soldiers and one sword from the bottom of a hill took on 20 soldiers on top
Militarily does not make sense
But when you add God into the equation it does!
V FOLLOW
The teenage armour bearer was willing to follow Jonathan all the way
Do you have a mentor you can trust to lead you?
I don't know which of these 5 steps is appropriate response in your situation.
But God knows.
Pray and ask him for directions.
I FLIGHT
II FREEZE
III FORCE your own way
IV Act in FAITH
V FOLLOW
This could help you face an impossible situation.
This could help you achieve victory despite impossible odds.
