What did George Washington do when it looked like the American Revolution was lost? At the time, he was leading a ragtag bunch of farmers with pitchforks against the British Army, the finest in the world at that time.
Washington’s fan club was calling for him to be fired. Even worse, he knew that a large number of his volunteers would return home at the first of the year and that he (along with his officers) would be hung by King George if they could not prevail. A quick glance at his upcoming calendar looked bleak.
What did Washington do when his life, his reputation, and his sacred honor were all on the line? He knelt in the snow and prayed. I’m sure you have seen the paintings of this magnificent scene. It is a brilliant, patriotic moment.
Washington knew then what America needs to realize today: When we are at our weakest, God is at the top of His game. We can never have a stronger army than when God is on our side. For if God be for us, who can be against us?
