We thank You, Lord, that we have Your wonderful promise - "The Lord your
God is with you" - as well as Your clear command - "Be strong" (Joshua
1:9). Without Your promise, the command is no use. Again and again, we
fail to keep Your commands. Again and again, we need to be reassured.
You are still with us.This is what we need to hear. This is where our
strength comes from. It comes from Your promise. It comes from knowing
that You never fail us. You have never failed us. You never will fail
us.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
