Lord of Angel Armies
It's rare these days to be in a conversation with someone that doesn't gravitate to the utter astonishment of the downward slide of our world. Despair and a feeling of defeat can easily slip into our mental outlook, but then we remember who is on our side. The Lord of Angel Armies!
Morgan Snyder author of Becoming a King, wrote a devotional on Faithgateway recently in which he stated:
"In the novel Peace Like a River, Jeremiah Land, the father figure in the story, put it this way: 'We and the world, my children, will always be at war. Retreat is impossible. Arm yourselves.'
Yet in this powerful story, the weapons Jeremiah uses are not physical fire-arms but the even more fundamental weapons of courage, wisdom, strength, endurance, self-control, prayer, faith, love, and sacrifice. He wages war heroically against death, cruelty, and violence, but in the power of One far greater than himself.
While many Bible translations render the Hebrew name for God, Jehovah Sabaoth, as 'the Lord God Almighty,' it is more accurately translated 'the Lord of Angel Armies.' We can conclude that the Creator filled the spiritual realm with the kingdom equivalent of Navy SEALs for a reason."
Amen! I love that assurance.
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1

I'll repeat this song Saturday with the story behind it.
