1 Kings 19:27-28
"And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country. And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD."
Underestimating the power of God has been a fatal mistake for many. Israel, like a little herd of sheep, was going up against an army that filled the country. Yet that day, God proved He was ruler of all.
Many pagan religions assign certain "gods" to certain elements of nature. One "god" rules the plains or water while another rules the mountains or sky. Yet we know the One True God rules over everything, as Creator and sustainer.
Knowing the great works God has accomplished through flawed humans, plus knowing His omnipotence ought to embolden us as His beloved children to attempt great things from God while expecting great things from God. Am I doing that today?
