Washington's Unlikely Army

Monday, August 23, 2021

George Washington had an army of people who didn't know what they were doing, making America's birth unlikely. With little provisions, they were a ragtag army fighting the most formidable military force in the world, the British. Washington's main strategy was keeping his army in the fight by running away. The British general ended up trapped by the sea, surrendering at Yorktown. America won the war by an unlikely army of ragtag soldiers who spent time running away until everything turned around. That's the way God works. The Bible's filled with people who would appear to be losers. Yet those lives and walks are turned around for victory. Perhaps you feel like a failure, losing battle after battle. God loves even turning those things around. Don't look at your record or the past; it doesn't mean anything to God! Look to Him and you'll be like Gideon. Trust in His power and the Lord will turn it around. He delights in turning failure into victory, and making the weak strong. rn
