1 Samuel 14:6

Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.”

From Background Notes [BN] for Jan 30th & 31st written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Some obstacles of our climb to the summit are long-standing. They are fierce, obstinate opponents, long entrenched in the foothills and on cliffs as we ascend.

In this reality we share the pilgrim experience of our ancient ancestors, the Israelites. For them the stubborn opponents were the Philistines, and this week’s study devotes space to the background of a single text from 1 Samuel 14, and to the maverick prince named Jonathan, son of King Saul. He was a youthful spirit who lived outside the box with unswerving faith in the God of his people. From him we learn the practices of moving through the opposition when the organized armies of his father seemed unable to break the inertia of their reluctance to do so. [BN,1]
