1Sa 14:1, Now it happened one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “COME, LET US GO OVER TO THE PHILISTINES’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he did not tell his father
While Saul was sitting the glory departed Saul; Jonathan was filled with faith in the LORD!
1Sa 14:6, …”Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; IT MAY BE THAT THE LORD WILL WORK FOR US. FOR NOTHING RESTRAINS THE LORD FROM SAVING BY MANY OR BY FEW.”
Jonathan didn’t tell his father nor the people of Israel what he intended to do! He wasn’t looking for his own glory, but he knew the work of HIS GOD & HIS PROMISES! Nothing restrains GOD BUT OUR OWN FAITHLESSNESS!
Mat 13:58, Now He (JESUS) did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
1Sa 14:15, And there was TREMBLING IN THE CAMP, IN THE FIELD, AND AMONG ALL THE PEOPLE. THE GARRISON AND THE RAIDERS ALSO TREMBLED; and THE EARTH QUAKED, so that it was a VERY GREAT TREMBLING.
JONATHAN & HIS ARMOR-BEARER STEPPED OUT IN FAITH, THEN THE LORD DID WHAT ONLY THE LORD COULD DO! HE CAUSED THE PEOPLE TO TREAMBLE IN FEAR WITH AN EARTHQUAKE AND CONFUSION! WE HAVE AN AMAZING POWER BEHIND US IF ONLY WE WOULD BELIEVE IN THE LORD & HIS WORD!
Rom 8:31, … IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
