I’m Joe Havens.
A simple soldier of God Almighty.
“The Lord is with you, you are a mighty man of valor.”
Judges 6:12
A story has been told of a man who put an eagle’s egg into the nest of a barnyard chicken. The eaglet hatched and grew up with the ensuing brood of chickens. All his life he did what the chickens did: scratched in the dirt for seeds and insects, clucked and cackled, and never flew more than a few feet or so off the ground.
Then one day he saw a magnificent bird soaring gracefully above him and asked, What a beautiful creature. What is it called?
The chicken next to him said, that’s an eagle, the king of the birds. But don’t give him any mind because you could never be like him. So, the eaglet returned to pecking in the dirt, and sometime later died thinking he was just an everyday, simple barnyard chicken.
Who told YOU that you don’t have potential? Who told you that you won’t succeed in life or make an impact? It had to have been a neighbor, or maybe a chicken. It Certainly was not God!
When the Angel of the Lord called a man to deliver Veterans and first responders from the Woke generation and government, he responded with a list of excuses about why he wasn’t qualified for the job. Because my family is poor in Spokane. Because I don’t yet fully measure up. And I am the least in my Father’s house. But the angel told him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor! … Go in this might of yours, and you shall plant My seeds of the gospel within the hearts, and minds of many veterans, and first responders. Have I not sent you?” (Judges 6:12-14)
