Are You Available?

Have you ever felt outnumbered by the enemy? In a place or position you didn’t ask to be, but God allowed you to be there that He might show himself strong on your behalf? Jonathan, the son of King Saul, felt this way when one normal day, he dared to step out in faith, scaling a mountain to make himself available to be used by the Lord in an extraordinary way.

Any venture for the Lord takes faith, but certain ones where we feel alone and outnumbered may require a bit more. Jonathan was brave, his courage was contagious, and his curiosity-turned-faith was put to the test. What began as a normal day just checking things out ended up in a major battle with an extraordinary victory. Even though Jonathan and his armor bearer were outnumbered, they only needed God on their side to win the victory. Jonathan understood what many of us struggle with… God doesn’t need many people to win the battle, He only needs a few available brave souls with the faith the size of a mustard seed to make a difference. For God is able to save by many or by few (1 Sam. 14:6).

I wonder today if you are one of those brave souls? Is your courage contagious to others? Are you available whether anyone else goes with you or you go alone? God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above what we could even imagine. He only asks that we are available. You will never know how God might want to use your life if you never step out in faith to see! Make yourself available to God today and you might just be surprised how He will use you!
