I need never say die warriors, people willing to stretch themselves. Giving up a little sleep here, a bag of groceries there. And before long I have an abundance of people and supplies. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up 12 basketfuls a broken pieces that were left over (Matthew 14:20). We serve a God that can do a lot with a little. David was small in stature, yet defeated Goliath. We serve a God of the impossible. Jesus looked at them and said, with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:21).
The only difference between us and the mighty saints of the Bible - FAITH! I think God has poured out the same measure of fire, power, and ability on us all. The differences are our gifts and the measure of faith we have to put them to work. For by the grace given me I say to everyone of you: do not think of yourself more highly then you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you (Romans 12:3). Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord's anger (Zephaniah 2:3). Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5).
I command you this day, do not stir up discontent among your brethren, walk humbly on this earth. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God (Matthew 5:9). Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3). Rather poor, tired, or downcast; all can do I work for God. Hammer your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into Spears. Train even your weaklings to be warriors (Joel 3:10)....
