Strength in Quiet Assurance
1 Samuel 14:6
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised…


Pelopidas, when informed that the number of the enemy was double that of his own army, replied: "So much the better. We shall conquer so many the more." His intelligent self-possession was more than a thousand spears. The battle of Gilboa was lost before Saul began it. "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength."

(E. P. Thwing.)
