O God, do not keep silent

We all love an against-the-odds victory, don’t we. Whether its Agincourt where 6,000 English longbowmen completely routed 30,000 French infantry and cavalry. Or Rorke’s Drift where 150 British troops defended a farmhouse and wounded British soldiers against 4,000 Zulu warriors—11 Victoria Crosses were awarded that day. And a small group of Hussite peasants held off an army of 150,000 Crusaders who had laid siege to the city of Prague. All they had were sharpened tools but they repelled attacks for two days allowing a relief force to come to their aid. Of course, we are more familiar with the likes of Joshua at Jericho bringing down walls with God’s power, and Gideon with clay jars and loud shouts causing a much greater army to be thrown into confusion. Time and again in the Old Testament we see God winning battles for His chosen people. Unlikely, unbelievable, miraculous victories. But of course, the greatest ever against-the-odds victory was won by God through His son Jesus. He defeated sin by dying on the cross and defeated death by rising from the grave. It doesn’t matter who or what surrounds us we can be confident that we are secure in Christ.
