Where does our victory come from? Does it come from large numbers? Does it come from human strength? No! Our strength comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. When Gideon faced the Midianites, the LORD told him to send all but 300 of the soldiers away, because there were too many. If Gideon had won the battle with 32,000 troops, God would not have received as much glory for the victory. Instead, because there were only 300 troops, it was clear that God did a miracle that day.
In the same way, God wants to receive glory for all that He does in our lives. We would like to operate from a position of strength, but many times God encourages us to step out and act at a time when we feel weak. Paul tells us that God told him “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
Our Nepali brothers started by simply believing the Gospel, and then sharing this message of hope to their friends and loved ones in their community. God responded with His power, demonstrating His love with signs, wonders, and miracles.
May each of us be inspired by the courage and faith of our Nepali brothers. May we step out and share this message of hope and love to our friends and loved ones. And may we trust God with the results and expect Him to respond in power, just as He did for them, because “there is no favoritism with God.” (Romans 2:11)
