Dad had a lot of "sayings". This was one I remember :
"praise the Lord and pass the ammunition "
Wests often called to do things, to stand up for things, that are against the common understanding. This that are perceived as unusual or even crazy by the world. Sometimes things don't even make sense to us. Nevertheless we are called to have faith. If god says to do it then do it! Take the fight, dive in with confidence.
Examples are times like :
David in the Lions den saying "I know God CAN save me, let set of he WILL."
Young david standing up against goliath with nothing but a slingshot.
Joshua commanding the israelites to war against city after city too big, to heavily armed, to much for them to capture.
Another truth that's hidden in this saying is that there is usually a fight in store for us. God doesn't always make the enemy fall over before us. More often than not, we are called to endure the battle, to fight. Faith says we fight regardless the odds. But it is a fight. We need ammunition.
Yes, when you are sure that god said to go.... Then praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
