Deuteronomy 32:30 tells us that one with the Lord will put to flight one thousand and two with the Lord will put to flight ten thousand. I like the Lord’s mathematics because if one would put to flight one thousand you would think that two would put to flight two thousand. But God’s economy is exponential and explosive, allowing two to have victory over ten times as many as one would.

Daniel 11:32 says that those who know their God shall do great exploits. In other words, the more I know about the Lord, the more faith I’ll have to do great things for Him. William Carey, famous missionary of generations past, said, “Attempt great things for God and expect great things from God.” Every believer ought to be involved in something so big that, unless God is in it, it’s doomed to fail. Go in over your head. Do something that is so much bigger than you are, that unless God is in it, it can’t work. Jonathan models this mindset.
