The God-Given Banner (Psalm 60, part 2)


The Banner of Delivery (verses 5-8)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2060:5-8&version=NIV

God delivers us from the power of our enemies. Amid all the political distractions that bombard us, may we pray for the day when all nations will bow down under Christ’s banner. May we find our joy in Christ, rejoicing in Christ’s triumph.

Thank You, Lord God, that You have delivered us. We pray for the deliverance of the people You love in Jefferson County. You have spoken from Your sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Jefferson County and measure off Beaver Valley. Chimacum is mine, and Port Hadlock is mine; Irondale is my helmet, Port Ludlow my scepter. Brinnon is my washbasin, upon Quilcene I toss my sandal; over Port Townsend I shout in triumph.”

The Banner to Lead (verses 9-10)

At the present time, God seems to have left us at the mercy of our foes. However, God will restore and heal fragmented lives undone by evil. May we look to God to overcome our difficulties. May God lead us under His banner.

God our Leader, bring us to Yourself. Restore, heal and lead our lives.
