Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few! —1 Samuel 14:6
How much can God do with one person? Very often we know that something should be done, but we are waiting on others to do it. Jonathan and his armor bearer were sitting in an impossible situation, between two steep, sharp, and rocky cliffs (1 Samuel 14:4). They were literally between a rock and a hard place!
While everyone waited on someone else to make a move, Jonathan believed that one plus God is a majority. In essence, He said, “Let’s go! The Lord can take care of us whether we face many or few.” In his impossible situation, Jonathan was confident of God’s saving power.
Verse 15 of 1 Samuel 14 says, “Suddenly, panic broke out in the Philistine army. . . . And just then an earthquake struck, and everyone was terrified.” Who do you think sent the panic and the earthquake in response to Jonathan’s faith? God, of course!
God is really looking for just one person who will step out in faith, and when He finds that person, He starts to move. What if you are that person? Take the first step, make your move, and watch God make His move!
