After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel. —Judges 3:31 (NIV)

The Shamgar Principle

-

where you are


-

what you have

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ […] —2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (NKJV)


-

what you can

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. —Galatians 4:4-5 (NKJV)


So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” —John 20:21 (NKJV)


What did Jesus do?

He started where He was.
He used what He had.
He did what He could.
