Victory With Empty Jars

 

And Gideon divided the 300 men

into three companies

and put trumpets

into the hands of all of them

and empty jars

with torches inside the jars.

             Judges 7. 16

(God arms us with the improbable

           to take on the impossible.

In whatever situation we face,

God whispers,

     "Trust Me in this."

Following Him may not make sense

               at all to us,

but when we are faithful,

      God redeems

and brings about His glory,

sometimes in unexpected ways

            and with the unlikely.

Someday we will understand,

   "So that's why

           You did it that way........"

His victory is not just

            over our foes and fears,

but that we may know

         that He is the LORD.)

O LORD,

You narrowed down Gideon's army

until it was impossible for them

            to win,

so they would know Your glory

         cannot be denied.

Shine Your light over our

            circumstances.

We come before You

  with weak hands 

                and empty jars.

For we are powerless

against this great horde

that is coming against us.

We do not know what to do,

but our eyes are on You.

            2 Chronicles 20. 12
