Against All Odds
by an Old Disciple of Jesus Christ
"…thou mighty man of valor."~ Jud. 6:12
What do Gideon, Jephthah, Naaman, and Zadok have in common? We’re told all four were, "mighty men of valor." In spite of the fact that the first was a poor, dirt farmer; the second, the son of a harlot; the third, a leper; and the fourth man, but a youth, they still excelled.
Coming from a poor background, having immoral parents, being shunned by others, and having little experience in life, does not have to affect or determine our future. God looks at what we can be, not what we are at the present.
A man or woman who comes to possesses God’s mighty character, can against all odds, accomplish unbelievable feats for His glory. Such people not only believe they can; they do.
"Three strikes and your out" never applies to those with such character.
