Acts 17:26: "And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God"

Esther 4:14: "For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”"

1 Samuel 14:6: "Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for nothing can hinder the LORD from saving by many or by few.”"

Two thoughts:

1) we can find our comfort in the sovereignty of God, even amidst seeming chaos and inescapable odds.

2) many of the examples of courageous faith in scripture are not God descending from the heavens and proclaiming His will, but instead a faithful servant of the Lord seeing problems and trusting themselves to God's sovereignty as they walk forward in trust and in His name.
