I am taking a lot of comfort that the facts are starting to get out. As was pointed out in a couple of other posts we also need to address and add to our outcries the most important of the Constitutional issues involved as well.....the right to life, which is very concise in both the U.S. Constitution and in the Constitution of the State of Florida. Just the fact that so many people are paying attention, reminding eveyone we contact that we KNOW that the Constitution first and foremost guarantees that right could help weaken the opposition in the coming battle over the Constitutionality of Terri's law. Besides, our leader doesn't fight with great armies, He takes the least among us and empowers us by His Spirit to do great things.
"Now the same night it came about that the LORD said to him [Gideon], "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hands. "But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp, and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp." So he went with Purah his servant down to the outposts of the army that was in the camp. Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore. When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, "Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat." His friend replied, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand." When Gideon heard the account of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, "Arise, for the LORD has given the camp of Midian into your hands."
He divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all of them, with torches inside the pitchers. He said to them, "Look at me and do likewise. And behold, when I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. "When I and all who are with me blow the trumpet, then you also blow the trumpets all around the camp and say, 'For the LORD and for Gideon.' " So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands. When the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers, they held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands for blowing, and cried, "A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!" Each stood in his place around the camp; and all the army ran, crying out as they fled. When they blew 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. (Judges 7:9-22)
I hope we can be inspired by the story of Gideon, who was the least of his house and a cowardly little man besides, and yet God built his faith even as He decreased his numbers to a mere handful of men against the mighty armies of the Midianites and the Amalekites who, in their confusion, turned their weapons on one another and fled in fear before Gideon's tiny army who simply stood by and watched.
Terri's Army ping!
