The place & circumstances of Jesus' birth, Gideon's army of 300, David & Goliath, Elijah v. 450 government certified false prophets... When I consider these and so many other events in our Bible, the Lord allows - no, rather, He insists that the odds be so lopsided that the outcome will be perceived absolutely for what they are: Miracles done "with a mighty arm and outstretched hand" - the hand of God. Elijah had his alter and sacrifice absolutely drenched before calling on the Lord, David was a ruddy faced boy facing an enemy's greatest warrior, and the facts of how God choose to come down, and so many other things - just astound me.
I, of course, would not have done any of this that way! Jesus would've been born the son of a kings' dynasty, born in a palace, attended to by legions of servants, announced from the highest places... Everyone would have had no choice but to worship Jesus for who and what He was; every knee would've been bowed. Had I been the Lord, the glory and majesty would've been on such display that the shekinah glory would have been blinding, and the voice of the Lord would not have been a still small voice, but a booming awesome voice, like Charleton Heston, or James Earl Jones!
But this is not the Lord's way.
God is a God of miracles, accomplishing impossible things for His beloved, even today, and He is here in our midst. Take time today, during this season of miracles and giftings, Seek Him while He may yet be found, be still and know that He is always God.
His love endures forever.
