This morning God brought me to Psalm 60, I feel like it was no coincidence that He led me there. I was so blessed by it, so I had to share it with you all. God had me dig into this verse (4):
"But for those who fear you, you have raised a banner to be unfurled against the bow." Selah
God has brought my family and I into a season of faith building recently; seasons like this are confusing in that they can be hard, but also can be very blessed. I've felt the evidence of this over the past week. Every day isn't wonderful, but I feel such an assurance that God is good. When I read this verse I felt so excited that my God is my protector and that He loves me so much! God brought to mind another verse: "He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love." Song of Songs 2:4
I love that God's protection of us isn't detached. When He fights for us He does it from a place of fierce devotion and love. God's love is the one thing that strengthens my faith in Him. Anyone can believe that the God who hung the stars CAN do all things, but faith really comes down to will He? Will God fight for me when I really need Him to? God's love tells me that yes He will, and that whatever comes my way has not been unnoticed by Him.
This morning I've come to realize once again my love for Blue Letter Bible. I looked up the definition of the word banner and found this:"God's setting up or giving a banner imports his presence and protection and aid extended to his people." They referenced both of the verses above. God's love and his protection go hand in hand!
The last verse referenced in this definition says: "We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests. Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand." Psalm 20:5-6
Amen. I will shout for joy when He is victorious. To God be the glory.
Here is a sweet treat for you my friends, this song is wonderful. Tonight is the Potter's field presentation at Calvary, I've never seen it before...I can't wait, it should be amazing!
