Yahweh Nissi

Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner. He said, "For hands were lifted up to the throne of the Lord. The Lord will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation."
Exodus 17:15-16

Banners and standards have always been used, like modern-day flags, to rally and inspire the troops in battle. But what if your banner was so big that you could not ignore it... ever? What if it was so big that no one could ignore it? What if your banner was that big, and yet personally fitted to cover and consume you, body and soul, identifying you as belonging to that particular standard?

That IS Yahweh Nissi. He is the banner that encapsulates us entirely, as we attempt to learn more about Him.

It also speaks to how the world works when we offer praise. Even though Moses had to have others hold his arms up to continue the victorious battle for Joshua below, the point is that hands were lifted high to God... and God responded!

Pray tonight that Yahweh Nissi would cover and capture you, reminding you of His awesome presence. And then pray that same protection over your spouse and loved ones. Remember, He is the only banner that no single created thing can ignore; all of creation knows His name!

God bless you all!!!
