"The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him. The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name." Ex. 15:2-3
I sometimes wonder if some understand just how great a defender of His people is Jehovah God.
Not even one of the many identifiable non-gods being worshipped today could defend himself even if he had to stand face to face against Jehovah.
I was only a boy when Japan struck the U.S. at Pearl Harbor putting fear and dread into the hearts of Americans from coast to coast.
Even as a 7 year old I was greatly comforted two days later when President Roosevelt addressed congress and the nation with the strong reminder that "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
I was not yet "born again" that day, but for the leader of America to give the nation assurance that her president was trusting God to protect and provide strengthened my courage and greatly reduced the fear that has assailed everyone that past Sunday when the radio stations blasted the news of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
That same God ....the very same...is still on His throne. As Moses wrote in Exodus, "the Lord is His name'. I believe He continues to have the power to overcome whatever is trying to overcome us today. He desires greatly to be the strength, the song, the warrior of whomever will allow Him to their Savior!!
