Faith perceives the reality of what is unseen by trusting in the promises and character of Him who calls. "Come and let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; perhaps the LORD will work for us, for the LORD is not restrained to save by many or few" (1 Samuel 14:6). The servant of the LORD may confidently advance when He directs, irrespective of rational indications to the contrary. For the LORD delights in delivering His children when they are weakest, for in those moments His presence is most notably recognized to the praise of His Name. Are you confronted with the impossible according to your resources? Confirm it is the LORD directing you to advance. If it is not stop immediately. If it is He you may continue confidently irrespective of appearances. His deliverance will be self evident. To Him who is able to do exceedingly more than we can imagine, be the glory and honor and majesty for ever and ever. Amen
