2 Samuel 6:1-23; Nahum 1:1-15; Romans 13:1-14
A threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12
From Exodus 17: The battle lines were drawn. The Amalekites against Moses and his host of two-legged sheep. Amalek must have anticipated an easy victory! But they forgot that they were fighting against the Lord. How He won amazes us—a simple, threefold cord. Down below was Joshua, the frontline fighter, his sword wielded. But he was strengthened while another raised his arms to God. The interceding Moses lifted his prayers. But Moses and his weary arms were helped by others too. Their task was to support him in the task he was to do. A three fold cord still works today. Frontline workers. Intercessors. Burden-bearers too. There is a special part to play for someone just like you. —Brian Cretney
The battle is the Lord’s! Stand still, my soul, and view;
The great salvation God has wrought, revealed for you. —E. M. Clarkson
