Daily Lectionary Reading: Psalm 53 (NRSV, The Message); 1 Samuel 13:23-14:23 (NRSV, The Message); Galatians 6:11-18 (NRSV, The Message)

"Maybe God will work for us. There’s no rule that says God can only deliver by using a big army. No one can stop God from saving when [they] set [their] mind to it.”

1 Samuel 14:6 (The Message)

Nope, there's no rule that says God can only deliver with a big army. God uses what is available. God moves through those who make themselves available. "God's mind" is always set  to working salvation, redemption, shalom. And God can't be stopped. It feels like, though, God can be slowed down. It seems like our minds are often set AGAINST salvation. How might we make ourselves avaialble as an "army" God can use to deliver?
