"The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, "This is what the LORD says: 'Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the LORD." 1 Kings 20:28 [NIV]
The odds were against Israel, and they could have followed all sorts of strategies – give up and surrender, make an alliance with another nation and risk compromising in some way. This time God sent a messenger to tell them that he would deliver them, and that was exactly what happened.
So What?
In the face of our own challenges, do we really trust God?
