“Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor, ‘Come and let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; perhaps the LORD will work for us, for the LORD is not restrained to save by many or by few.” – I Samuel 14:6

Do you ever feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Have you ever spent sleepless nights trying to figure out if you had enough resources to meet the demands of life? Have you ever counted up the problems and realized they outnumbered your solutions?

I have good news for you! The Lord is not restrained – he is not hindered, nothing can prevent him, and no one can stop him – from saving you! Not your personal limitations, not your financial constraints, not your past mistakes, not the size or number of your problems … nothing can restrain the Lord’s saving power.

  • As you look toward the coming months, what potential problems might you face?
  • What are your personal resources that you can apply toward those problems?
  • What more will you need than you are able to give to face those problems?
  • Spend time in prayer acknowledging your need and limitations to God, and asking for his saving grace and power to meet the challenges ahead.
