One man of you shall chase a thousand. (Joshua 23:10)
When in Glasgow, a friend was telling me about a man who
was preaching one Sabbath morning on Shamgar. He said: “I can imagine that when
he was ploughing in the field a man came running over the hill all out of
breath, and shouted: ‘Shamgar! Shamgar! There are six hundred Philistines
coming toward you.’ Shamgar quietly said: ‘You pass on; I can take care of
them, they are four hundred short.’ So he took an ox goad and slew the whole of
them. He routed them hip and thigh." “One shall chase a thousand.”
Nowadays it takes about a thousand to chase one, because we do not realize that
we are weak in ourselves and that our strength is in God.
