[Discoveries] 10-28-07 Counting - 1 Samuel 13:15

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Saul counted the men who were with him. They numbered about six 
hundred. - 1 Samuel 13:15*/

What was Saul counting? It doesn't take a mathematical genius to realize 
that he had twice as many men as Gideon did, when Gideon put the 
Midianites to flight (Judges 7). What was he counting? If he was trying 
to number his assets, they were as thin as his relationship with God.

Clearly he was counting the wrong thing. What he needed was the presence 
of God, not more men.

God really doesn't care how many men we have, or how many loaves and 
fishes are available, or how strong the enemy claims to be. Those things 
don't figure into the equation. How much room do we have in our hearts 
for Him? That's all God needs. He can work the rest on His own.

I'm glad God wins, aren't you?

Be encouraged!
Dwight
