Exodus 17:15
15 Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner.
Question: Who’s Got Your Back?
At the height of the American Civil War, someone asked President Lincoln did he think God would be on the side of the North. Lincoln’s response was "Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."
As we pause to celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s founding, I am heart-sick about the rancor and division largely along political lines. It has gotten to the point that the Church is suffering in many cases from political division.
We are so concerned with what side of the political aisle we are on that we have forgotten the most important thing for Christians is to be on God’s side!
As I continue to recover from recent back surgery, I have developed a hyper-sensitivity to what’s (or who’s) behind me. But one thing that I believe in, is that I strive to be on God’s side every day, with every decision, and with every encounter, informed by His word, and Guided by His Spirit! That way, I don’t ever have to worry about God being on my side! I know that when I make His will, my will, I am on his side, and He's got my back!
Let’s come together under the only banner that really matters;
Jehovah Nissi!
Blessings,
