2 Raise a banner on a bare hilltop,
shout to them;
beckon to them
to enter the gates of the nobles.
3 I have commanded those I prepared for battle;
I have summoned my warriors to carry out my wrath—
those who rejoice in my triumph.
4 Listen, a noise on the mountains,
like that of a great multitude!
Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms,
like nations massing together!
The Lord Almighty is mustering
an army for war. Isaiah 13:2-4
We all hear daily the rumors of wars, and of different battles around the world. With these wars come great loss of life, but with many come true freedom for those fighting, but not always. As God prepares us for continued daily war against the enemy, can you see His influence? Most times what we find is the war that you are fighting is with others or you are fighting with yourself. We need to remember that there is only the battle against evil we should be fighting daily. God provides the comfort and support we all need in our daily battles, we need to remember to ask Him for it not just once in a while, or only when we go into battle, we need to ask for it daily. Something as simple as asking for safety, can help us feel strong when the enemy comes to us. A word of thanks for the previous day, acknowledges that it is not us who won the battle but that God has already won the battle and helped you through your challenges. So, raise your banner daily, and prepare to enter the battle knowing that the One who controls all things is on your side.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
