The God of the Weak

Spread the love

Jos. 6:5 “And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.“

I love this. When God was going to bring victory over Jericho He got them to march for 7 days and blow horns. He overcame 120,000 Midianites by getting Gideon and his 300 men to shine their lights and blow their trumpets. When Balaam is out of line, he uses his donkey to talk some sense to him! Our Lord can always make a way!

Our Lord is especially to those who are afflicted, poor, sick and weak people. Our Lord always makes a way for them. As Charles Spurgeon said:

”If you were to take out of the Scriptures all the stories that have to do with poor, afflicted men and women, what a very small book the Bible would become, especially if together with the stories you removed all the psalms of the sorrowful, all the promises for the distressed, and all the passages which belong to the children of grief! This Book, indeed, for the most part is made up of the annals of the poor and despised.”
