For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Observation: Basically God can do anything with anybody He chooses.  So often I feel helpless and say to myself what difference can I make and I\u2019m right if it is just me there isn\u2019t much I can do, but if it\u2019s God and me there is nothing that I can\u2019t accomplish.  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Devil is pouring lies into my mind all day long telling me how useless I am and God is telling me He wants to use me, so why do we listen to the enemy?  God has shown me in the past that He can use me and has done some amazing things through me with even a halfhearted faith, I can only imagine what He would do with a faith that He deserves from me.  <\/p>\n<p>Application: God is always there for me and continues to prove himself every day of my life.  He deserves much better from his servant and I need to give it to him.  I need to have a stronger faith and be willing to put myself in situations where God can show his strength through me, his servant.  I need to be bolder and more trusting to my Master.  If I sit back, that is all I\u2019m doing sitting, but if I step out only God knows where that journey will end and I know it will glorify Him. <\/p>\n<p>Prayer:  My Lord increase my faith.  Give me the courage and strength that I will need to fulfill the purpose you have created me for.  I\u2019m here as your servant, command me to go where you want me to go and tell me what you want me to do.  May I not waste this life and have nothing to show at the end, but may it be a life worth living, a life that pleases you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture 1 Sam 14:6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, &#8220;Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us.
