Today was one of those seemingly regular, if not a particularly annoying/frustrating days. It seemed as there were overwhelming odds against us in the carwash. In fact, it would have been easier to simply quit. After all, it seemed like such a big task for such a small group of people to undertake. Surely, it was foolishness! One student even asked if it wouldn’t be more wise to reschedule when there were more hands on deck, so to speak.

After coming home and taking a shower, I’ve had some time to ponder the events earlier in the day and the spiritual significance of them, if any at all. And I am reminded of the Biblical lesson of God working through the few and weak. All throughout the Bible, God chose to work through the weak and the few (some examples):

In Genesis 12, Abram is chosen by God out of all the other people and groups to eventually become the father of Israel and all believers.

In Deuteronomy 7:6-7, God explains that He had chosen Israel out of all the people groups of the earth because they were few and weak.

In 1 Samuel 16:6-13, God chose young David, the runt of the family to be king over Israel.

In 1 Corinthians 1:26-31, God explains that the Church is weak and few, so to shame the world’s strong and many so that God may be the only one glorified.

And so we see, that in fact when it seems to our mortal eyes that we are so very feeble and weak, it is then that perhaps God is pleased to work in and through us SO THAT He may receive our reliance and the glory. Let us not be so easily discouraged. God gives the Power of the Few
