Victory Over Our Fallen Nature and Temptation, Exodus 17:15 | Debbie Taylor Williams

Do you ever feel like the world, your flesh, or the devil are bearing down on you and you need a rallying point where you can find victory over your fallen nature and temptation?

If so, remember how Moses looked to the Lord as his rallying point.

When he held high the banner of the Lord, the Israelites were victorious over their enemies. They fought in God’s name and strength, not their own. So significant was the Lord’s presence and reason for their victory that Exodus 17:15 says, “Moses built an altar and named it, ‘The Lord is My Banner.’

God is just as present to help us as He was to help Moses. The Lord is our banner. When we lift His name high in prayer and look to Him for strength, we find victory over our sinful nature and the enemy.

The next time temptation or your old nature starts to get the best of you, lift high the LORD’s name: Victorious Warrior. Prince of Peace. Faithful. Guardian of Your Soul. Build an altar of praise to the Lord as Moses did. Return to the altar of praise throughout the day and praise God.

LORD, we praise You and lift high the BANNER OF YOUR NAME – victorious One.
