Praise to the Lord My Banner

Do you need a rallying point—some place you can go to find victory over your old nature and the devil’s temptations? Moses discovered that the Lord was his rallying point in Exodus 17. When he held the staff of God high, the Israelites were victorious over their enemies. They fought in God’s name and strength, not their own. After the battle was over and the Israelites defeated their enemies, “Moses built an altar and named it The LORD is My Banner” (Exodus 17:15).

As believers, we can declare the same truth for our lives as Moses did —“The LORD is My Banner.” He is our leader, protector, and the source of our victory. When we lift His name high in prayer and look to Him for strength, we find victory over our sin nature and the enemy. 

LORD MY BANNER, I praise You and lift high Your name over my flesh and the enemy.  

As we approach the holiday season, let’s focus on all we have to be grateful for. The Prayers of My Heart prayer journal is a great place to record your thanks to God for all the ways He is revealed in the Bible. It is also a thoughtful and meaningful gift to give to someone else.
