Zephaniah 3:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”
Ephesians 6:12 English Standard Version (ESV)
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Isaiah 48:22 English Standard Version (ESV)
22 “There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”
2 Chronicles 20:15b New King James Version (NKJV)
Thus says the Lord to you: ‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
My husband took this picture of our country's flag as it hung from a fire truck's extended ladder in front of our town's fire department. It's beautiful, isn't it? As we remember 9/11 this Patriot Day, may we also remember that God is in control as our country continues this fight against terror. May we, who are redeemed of the Lord, be strong Christians as well as strong patriots. This battle we are in belongs to God.
