Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether he has many warriors or only a few! – 1 Samuel 14:6

How much can God do with one person? Very often we know that something should be done, but we are waiting on others to do it. Jonathan and his armor bearer were sitting in an impossible situation, between two steep, sharp, and rocky cliffs (1 Samuel 14:4). They were literally between a rock and a hard place!

While everyone waited on someone else to make a move, Jonathan believed that one plus God is a majority. In essence, He said, “Let’s go! The Lord can take care of us whether we face many or few.” In his impossible situation, Jonathan was confident of God’s saving power.

Verse 15 of 1 Samuel 14 says, “Suddenly, panic broke out in the Philistine army. . . . And just then an earthquake struck, and everyone was terrified.” Who do you think sent the panic and the earthquake in response to Jonathan’s faith? God, of course!

God is really looking for just one person who will step out in faith, and when He finds that person, He starts to move. What if you are that person? Take the first step, make your move, and watch God make His move!

Jesus replied, “Now is not the right time for me to go. But you can go anytime, and it will make no difference.” – John 7:6

With these words, Jesus addressed His brothers who were pressuring Him to go to Jerusalem and perform miracles. They reasoned that anyone who wanted to be a public figure needed to go to the center of attention and promote himself. In their minds, Jesus had the greatest miracle show going and needed to advertise it!

Jesus countered His brothers’ demands with a reference to His time. He was committed to waiting upon the Lord for the right time with regard to doors of ministry. Many Christians, however, are more like Jesus’ brothers than like Him. They look at ministry like it’s a business, and they grow frustrated if they or anyone else misses an opportunity.

Saul, too, had no sense of divine timing (1 Samuel 13:11-12). Instead of waiting for Samuel to make the sacrifice, he forced himself to offer it before the people began to scatter. This mistake of timing cost him his throne.

The great eagle digs his claws into the top of the rock and waits for the thermal winds. When they are blowing too hard to resist, he releases his talons and soars. His wings do not flap with exertion, but he effortlessly soars high. Wait for the Lord and His winds of opportunity. He will exalt you when the timing is perfect.
