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!

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.

Pray and ask him for directions.

III FORCE your own way
IV Act in FAITH

This could help you face an impossible situation.
This could help you achieve victory despite impossible odds.
