Read: Exodus 17:1-16
Share this: “And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord is my Banner…” Exodus 17:15 (AMP)

Stuck in an expansive desert, the Israelites were growing uncertain, thirsty, light-years away from satisfied, and threatened by their enemies. It was the worst of times. No reason at all to believe that the Lord was still powerful; much less to even imagine that He existed!

But the Lord was their Banner.

In the middle of a killer desert, God assured the Israelites that the Promised Land was not a daydreamer’s paradise. The Lord made water spring where sunshine was hottest. He made Joshua and his army defeat the Amalekites despite Moses’ apparent physical limitation.
All because the Lord was their Banner.

There’s something about banners that inspires fighting spirit. Sports fans cheer behind banners for astonishing athletes. Armies of old announce conquest with elaborate banners. Street activists wave banners to attract justice. They do so because banners inspire fighting spirit. Banners evoke unity and oneness of purpose.

No wonder the Lord is a Banner.

Lost in an expansive desert of negative influences, the youth generation is growing uncertain of the future, thirsty for significance, light-years away from satisfied, and threatened by their fears. Today is the worst of times. No reason at all to believe that the Lord is still powerful; much less to even imagine that He exists!

But the Lord is our generation’s Banner.

In the middle of a killer desert, the Lord is raising up people who will fearlessly step out and make today’s youth heaven’s most powerful weapon. The Lord is raising up people who will love God above themselves, and shall have compassion to the nation they are in. The Lord is raising up people who will unite the youth into the Cause of Jesus. People who will wave the Banner where sunshine is hottest and boldly confess that There is One Lord, and He is our generation’s Banner!
