The Lord
always fights the battle using methods we would never
think of.
There is a passage in Judges that
reads:
".
. . and from this number there were chosen seven hundred left-handed
men, who could all sling stones at a hair and never miss. . ."
What a remarkable
passage. The story goes on to tell about the great defeat of
the vast army of the enemy, and the vindication of the Lord.
The reason the Lord does things the way
He does, is not something that can be explained. It can be recognized,
respected, and then it must be waited for. He must be
waited for.
It is so difficult for Christians
to wait until they see God moving. Why? Because if I wait for
the Lord, I must acknowledge that there is nothing I can do that
is equal to what He can do.
You might say, "We all know
that!"
Well, I don't think we do. If we
really knew it, we would wait. And a calmly waiting soldier is
rare in today's church.
But the principles of heaven never
change, and the Lord does things His own way and never ours.
It is worth the wait - and when
things seem a little weird, wait some more! The bad guy
is about to go down! |
