Power of Obedience

We hear much these days about God's sovereignty and man's free agency. Christ said to the woman of Canaan, "Be it unto thee even as thou wilt" (Matt. 15:28). Here is something that looks like human sovereignty and divine agency. Free to do what we please because we please to do God's will. Such is the free agency of faith that takes hold of the arm that moves the world. Such free agency Moses had when the Red Sea was no obstacle. The walls of Jericho fell before this free agency of faith. By means of it any little David is more than a match for the strongest Goliath. Armed with it, Gideon and his three hundred were invincible.
