There are many of you who seem to be coming out of the wilderness into your ‘promised land’. The words of the song DEFENDER by Rita Springer sum up what God is doing in this season and what our response must be.
DEFENDER
You go before I know
That You’ve even gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and You call it my victory
You go before I know
That You’ve even gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me from the dry wilderness
All I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
Hallelujah, you have saved me
So much better Your way
Hallelujah, great Defender
So much better Your way
You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find your truth
Your mercy is the shade I’m living in
You restore my faith and hope again
When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to your love
You picked up all my pieces
Put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
Rejoice warriors, the battle belongs to the Lord. He goes before You! Spend some time and worship Him, reflect on what God has done for you and what He has promised He will do…He is faithful, He is your Defender!
Indeed all our battles belong to the Lord! We have to surrender every area of our lives to see Him come through. How very picturesque it is to visualise in our mind’s eye, Abba, Daddy going before us! So we have nothing at all to fear! All that is required of us is to trust Him 100% , be obedient to His precepts and do good. Is that too difficult? Not when the Lord walks with you. So let us praise, worship and be still and taste the goodness of the Lord!
