Faith in the Lord

1 Samuel 14:6-7 ESV
6 Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the Lord will work for us, for nothing can hinder the Lord from saving by many or by few.” 7 And his armor-bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Do as you wish. Behold, I am with you heart and soul.

The faith that Jonathan puts in the Lord is incredible. Jonathan totally trusted the Lord, regardless of his own resources. He basically said that if the Lord wants to defeat these enemies that He can do it through a few or He can do it through many.

I find that though we are not in this situation, we are still called upon to have this kind of faith in the Lord in other situations. For a church, does that lack of finances hinder the kind of ministry the Lord expects; or even the lack of volunteers. If you are following the Lord and He has given you a vision for ministry, isn't it better to trust in His resources instead of your own?

Jonathan's servant trusted in his master's faith. Right now, I have only application that comes to mind: if you believe that God has placed your pastor to shepherd your church, shouldn't you support him "heart and soul" on the vision for the ministry of your church? Shouldn't you support him in the administration? Jonathan's servant believed in his master's faith in God, do you believe in your pastor's faith in God?
