His Banner

8/2/2011

Happy Monday Morning,
 
Queen Elizabeth II of England has three royal residences (Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyrood) plus two private homes. This could be confusing for those who want to find her except for one important fact: the queen's banner always flies over whichever residence she is currently occupying. If her banner of blue and gold is on the flagpole, the queen is sure to be present.
Moses also had a banner. After the battle with the army of Amalek, he built an altar and called it "The-Lord-Is-My-Banner." Exodus 17:15-16   "And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; for he said,  'Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.''"

Moses wanted everyone to know that God was in residence with His people. Despite the attacks of the Amalekites, God would never desert the people of Israel. Generation after generation could look up and know that the Lord was present in their midst.

As Christians, we should raise the Lord's banner over our lives. No matter how difficult our situation becomes, God will not abandon His residence in our midst.  And Jesus said, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:20). If the King is present, His banner should fly.

I can remember a little VBS song for kids, "HIS BANNER OVER ME IS LOVE".  Is it obvious to those around you that the King is in residence in your life? Make sure that His flag, His banner of love, flies high over your life. It's a privilege to fly that banner; it's a shame not to.
 
May the Lord bless you as you start your week.  Never forget that you are loved!!!

Henry
