Psalm 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the Lord fulfill all thy petitions.
God’s people prayed for David to lead them into battle, but their hope rested in the provisions of the Lord. They knew God would care for and keep them as long as they walked in fellowship with Him. They carried banners into battle that identified them as the people of God. They rested in the strength of the Lord rather than the abilities of men.
The battle is not ours; it belongs to the Lord. Whether we are facing a physical, emotional, or spiritual battle, we should rely upon the Lord to fight the battle for us.
He already conquered the enemy as He bled and died on the cross and rose again triumphant over sin, death, and hell. We will face nothing in life that our Lord can’t provide victory over.
Those within the body of Christ are secure within His mighty grip. We are covered by His banner of grace. We must live our lives in close communion with Him if we are to experience His great blessing.
