And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord is My Banner…
Exodus 17:15 ESV
Every battle needs a banner… a rallying point… a visible reminder of what the fight is for…

The call to love like Him… is a battle…!
An everyday battle of faith…
The banner under which we rally… is God Himself… The Lord Our Banner…!

With every banner to rally under… there is a rallying cry…!
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31 ESV
When we lift up God high in our lives… honor Him with our love… through willingness and obedience… He is for us…! we have nothing… no one… to fear…
The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Psalm 118:6 ESV
Loving like Him puts us in vulnerable places… sharing our hearts… pouring out our lives for others… in His name…
Only when He is our Banner… our Standard… the One for which we fight… is it possible… to take the humble steps of grace… to love like Him…
Each and everyday… one step… after another…
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? … Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
Psalm 27:1, 3 ESV
Where did you battle today… to love like Him…?
Did you win…? lose…? give into temptation…?
Never fear… gather round… rally yourself under Him…
