Let's See

 

Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, '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'"

I Samuel 14:6.

I just love Jonathan's "let's see" attitude. He knows that God is on the side of Israel, he has faith that God will be mighty on behalf of Israel no matter how few in number they may be. And though it was only Jonathan and his armor bearer, he was bold enough in trusting the Lord that his heart said, "let's see" what God might do!

I have a friend who has the same heart as Jonathan. He just steps out to see what God might accomplish. While doing missionary work in Nairobi, Kenya, he would listen to the Christian radio station. He felt the Bible teaching on the station needed some help so in faith he brought his collection of teachings from Pastor Chuck Smith to the station. The station manager put the teachings on the air and there was a great response. Because of the great response, the station called my friend and asked him if might go live on air after Pastor Chuck's teaching to answer Bible questions. Little did he know that taking one small step of faith would lead to him being the Bible answer man of Nairobi! He had not planned on getting his own radio show, he just had a heart that said "let's see" what God might do.

This same friend is now in Samoa trusting the Lord in the same way. His latest step of faith is trying to reach students by opening a shave ice shop across the street from a local college. His simple attitude of faith is always an encouragement and challenge to me.

We serve a big God who desires to accomplish much through His people. I believe God would desire to stir in all of us the heart of Jonathan. May we all lift up our eyes and see people and circumstances around us and say "lets see" what God might do!
