Psalm 60:4. “Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.”
A BANNER. Everywhere I turn, I see evil, And yet, I am powerless to bring change. God who sees and knows is fully able – To bring about the fulfillment of His plans.
Hard things that astonish even those who are lost Things are happening, and people seemingly don’t know why. For some, the reason is they don’t know sin has a cost – And that the soul that sinneth will surely die.
The banner of the Lord is lifted high – So those that fear the Lord will to it gather. There they will find the truth they buy – Will be their offensive weapon in the battle.
Surrounding us in this world are strong enemies – The world, the flesh, and the devil all attack. But under the banner God has given, there is unity – To strengthen saints together so nothing lacks.
As long as we’re in this world, there will be war. Righteousness and evil can’t coexist. Whether near at home or on fields afar – By the power of God, sin we will resist.
The banner rallies saints to earnest prayer – And prayer, in turn, gives strength to meet the foe. In private battles or in open warfare – Following that banner, we will go.
With simple trust in God, we will do exploits – And see the Mighty Conqueror on our behalf Call us to Himself and His banner points Us to where full victory is gained at last.
“I know this world is a battlefield, Father God, where the battle for truth, for the minds of men, for the families, for the children is ongoing. I also know there will not be any letup until the King comes and reigns after His final victory over this system. So, Father, I need help to keep the banner high before my generation. Perhaps the ones following will see the reason we take the things of God seriously. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
