"Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you."
Among the many blessings that come to those who keep the covenant is this one: that a few of God's churchmen would chase a whole bunch of His enemies. This is kind of neat. After all, only a very small percentage of humankind has any real impact on the most important aspects of what happens in the world.
By grace, be among the few, who, because of their link to Christ, make all the difference. God never sought to overwhelm the world purely with numbers. He delights to take it through His choice instruments.
[Puritan quote of the day: "God is a Being infinitely lovely, because He has infinite excellency and beauty." --Jonathan Edwards, in the book, "On Knowing Christ"]
