The Lord's promise
Deuteronomy 9:1-3 (New International Version)
Not Because of Israel's Righteousness
1 Hear, O Israel. You are now about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities that have walls up to the sky. 2 The people are strong and tall—Anakites! You know about them and have heard it said: "Who can stand up against the Anakites?" 3 But be assured today that the LORD your God is the one who goes across ahead of you like a devouring fire. He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly, as the LORD has promised you.
Dear Warriors,
For all your moms, we can take comfort in these words and the promise the Lord has made. The people you face may be strong and tall but it is the Lord your God who goes ahead of you like a devouring fire! All thanks and praise to the Lord God!
Love,
Mom
