Accomplishments

God’s people have accomplished the unthinkable in the past. For example, in Judges 7, Gideon was able to defeat the Midianites with only 300 men. In Judges 15, Samson was able to defeat 1,000 Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. In 1 Samuel 17, David was able to defeat the Philistine giant Goliath. In 2 Chronicles 14, Asa was able to defeat the much larger force of the Ethiopians. Every one of these victories have something in common: God helped His people!

Can the same happen today? Well, not exactly in the same sense, for some of these were miraculous deliverances. However, through His providence, God can help us to accomplish great victories. What we need to do is operate by faith (Hebrews 11:6; Colossians 3:17), and allow our convictions to product resolve and courage (Joshua 1:2, 5-9). We will need great resolve to stand against the majority (Matthew 7:13-14) and to endure persecution (John 15:20; 2 Timothy 3:12). If this is the case, we can hope for success (Romans 15:4; 1 Corinthians 15:58)!
