June 22, 2009 - Deuteronomy 20

Do you have a battle cry? Something that encourages you when you know you are going to face a struggle. Today I noticed Israel's battle cry. It is recorded for us in Deuteronomy 20:3-4. It is a cry that would be a helpful reminder for us each day as we enter the battle or struggle of life. Let me share it with you. "Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not be terrified or give way to panic before them. For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." I hope you find that an encouragement.
