"The place was named Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarreled there and tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD in our midst or not?"
Moses built an altar there, which he named Yahweh-nissi; for he said, "Take up the banner of the LORD! The LORD has a war against Amalek through the ages."" Exodus 17:7, 15-16

Will you carry the banner of the Lord? We have been given senses and through these senses we perceive God. I see a world that questions the existence of God even though He is in our midst. Moses saved the Israelites from Egypt, he fed them in the desert, he gives them water from a rock, all from God. Joshua wins a war against the Amalek because he sees God. Jesus has no eyes but yours, no hands or feet but yours, no ears but yours and no voice but yours. Are you going to continue to live in doubt or are you going to raise your hands and carry the Lords banner. The world around you needs to see God in action through His people.
What is God saying to me: The battle is mine, you are only to raise My banner and remain at peace.
Dear Lord, the war rages on against the Amalek, those that don't believe in one True God. Lift my arms high when needed, give others strength by all those willing to carry Your banner. Encourage each of us to live out our faith in our normal everyday activities. You are the Victor Jesus and where You go, I will follow. Thank You for our time together, for the opportunity to listen and see You in our midst. Seeing is believing, help us see through the actions of others. Triune God be my all. Triune God be my all. Triune God be my all. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Saints, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
