1 Samuel 14:6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his at our, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us: for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few.
Here is an incredible story of faith in God and the resultant victory miracle. It is similar to the David and Goliath story: with God, the weak underdog can win against a stronger and more numerous enemy. Jonathan with his armor-bearer alone went up against a garrison of Philistines. Outnumbered, the two slew 20 men and gained a significant victory. The impossible happened because the Lord worked for them.
Where did Jonathan get such a faith in God? He believed that there is no restraining the Lord to save by many or by few. How did he know that if God is for us, who can be against us? He believed God’s Word and promise, and knew what the Lord had done in the past: He would do it again.
We also believe and know that the Lord is working for us through the gospel of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We may feel overwhelmed at times by the strength and number of our spiritual enemies, which takes all kinds of forms in our regular lives. But we confess, “There is no restraint to the Lord to save.” Then we go forth into our day with the power of God’s Love on our side.
