I was thinking about how small our 1776RM may seem at this time, but we must remember that God is the one who brought this group together. If any of you do not know the story of Gideon you should read it. It is in the book of Judges, chapter 6-8. Gideon's army started with 32,000 but God said that was too many, that they would boast that they were the victors (I am paraphrasing) and not give the glory to God. So for God to get the glory he gave Gideon only 300 men to fight the enemy. Judges 7:12 - "The Midianites, the Amalekites and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts. Their camels could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore."
We must stand strong and keep our eyes on Jesus and seek his guidance in all we do. We must give God all the glory for all of our victories.
AMEN
