With Us Is the LORD!

Tuesday, November 4, 2008 [2 Chronicles 32:7-8]

7 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. 8 With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles." And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.


Dear Warriors,

Here is your battle cry!  This is for every battle you have with the flesh, sin, the enemy.  Humble yourselves, pray and know that the Lord our God is with us to help us fight our battles.

Love,

Mom

What does the LORD want?

Saturday, November 1, 2008 [Micah 6:8, NASB]

His Glory Among the Nations

 


Friday, October 31, 2008 [Isaiah 66:19-20 (New International Version)]

19 "I will set a sign among them, and I will send some of those who survive to the nations—to Tarshish, to the Libyans [a] and Lydians (famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant islands that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring all your brothers, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the LORD -on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels," says the LORD. "They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the LORD in ceremonially clean vessels.

Dear Warriors,

You are being sent to proclaim His glory among the nations! May you always be blessed and directed by His gracious hands.

Love,

Mom

*Thereas, it is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to owe their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
—Dwight D. Eisenhower, Second Inaugural Address, January 21, 1957

 

Wait for Him


Thursday, October 30, 2008 [Isaiah 64:4 (NIV)]

 4 Since ancient times no one has heard,
       no ear has perceived,
       no eye has seen any God besides you,
       who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

Dear Warriors,

 As you are His "watchmen posted on the walls" (Is.62:6), certainly it is His plan to act on your behalf as you wait for Him.  May you praise our Lord this day with this verse and etch it in your heart to recall in times of need.

Love,

Mom


 

Ready For Battle


Wednesday, October 29, 2008 [Isaiah 59:15-17 NIV]

15 Truth is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The LORD looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.
16 He saw that there was no one,
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
so his own arm worked salvation for him,
and his own righteousness sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,
and the helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments of vengeance
and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.


Dear Warriors,
Our Lord is ready for battle. I pray that you would put on righteous as your breastplate, the helmet of salvation, and wrap yourselves in zeal as a cloak!

Love,
Mom

 

 

 

The LORD Will Guide You Always


Tuesday, October 28, 2008 [Isaiah 58:8-9,11-12 NIV]

8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness [a] will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

11 The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
and will raise up the age-old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

Dear Warriors,

I can see your light already in the difference you have made around the world. We are such a grateful nation for your service and the light you bring into darkness. May your heart be increasingly sure that "the Lord will guide you always!!"

love,

Mom

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!

your walls are ever before me.
17 Your sons hasten back,
and those who laid you waste depart from you.
18 Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your sons gather and come to you.
As surely as I live," declares the LORD,
"you will wear them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride.

He Gives Strength to the Weary


Monday, October 20, 2008 [Isaiah 40]


28 Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

and his understanding no one can fathom.


29 He gives strength to the weary

and increases the power of the weak.


30 Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;


31 but those who hope in the LORD

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.


Dear Warriors,


I pray that you feel like it is a personal message to you with love from God! May you be especially encouraged and strengthened today!


love,


Mom


 

 

 

Trust the Lord

 

Friday, October 17, 2008 [Isaiah 31:1,5]

1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help,
who rely on horses,
who trust in the multitude of their chariots
and in the great strength of their horsemen,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel,
or seek help from the LORD.



5 Like birds hovering overhead,
the LORD Almighty will shield Jerusalem;
he will shield it and deliver it,
he will 'pass over' it and will rescue it.

Dear Warriors,

...And He will shield you!! I pray that you always trust in God's abundant protection above anything else. Know that He says it and you can believe it! Stand firm on these words as you protect us!

Love,
Mom

 

 

A Prayer For You

Dear Warriors,

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
—The Bible, Ephesians 3:14-19 (NIV)

Love,

Mom
