Regardless the reports, God’s word goes forth even in oppressive lands, and I am reminded of Elijah thinking he was the only one left, and yet there was the still small voice. Even one with God can be a majority.

1Ki 18:22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Zec 4:6 . . . Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Jdg 7:7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you . . .

1Ki 19:10 . . . I (Elijah), even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
1Ki 19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel . . .
1Ki 19:11 . . . the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
1Ki 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

And one shall set ten thousand to flight.

Fly little birdies, fly.

My favorite line from a Neil Diamond Song: Be. Fly my little bird, Fly Jonathan. Fly.

"Be, like a page that aches for a word which speaks on a theme that is timeless, and the One God will make for your day,
Sing, as a song in search of a voice that is silent, and the Sun God will make for your Way"

May the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His Wings!
