Do You See The Army?

“No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs,
 but rather tries to please his commanding officer.”
II Timothy 2:4
 

 
Someone once said – “One with God is a majority!”
God is building an army.
It is not one that finds its strength in bombs, ground troops or intimidation.
The strength of God’s army is God Himself.
God showed, through the life of Gideon, how it works.
God had Gideon intentionally ‘thin the ranks’ so that their victory would not rest in their numbers.
It would not rest in their skills, strategies or superior fire power.
It would rest in God alone.
It is no different today.
Gods’ army will not succeed on high tech gadgets or ‘shock and awe’.
We humble ourselves before Him.
We recognize and see ourselves as He sees us.
God can use just a handful of people when those people position themselves in His hand.
Will you be a part of His army?
Will you humble yourself before God?
Will you stay in the place of surrender?
Humility?
Surrender?
Those hardly sound like fighting words we would expect from an army.
 Yet, that is exactly the soldiers God is recruiting.
Will you let His might and power flow through you?
