Yahweh-Nissi – The LORD My Banner
The Lord is a reigning banner over us all the time. The Hebrew for “banner” comes from the root word “to be high” or “raised.” This was the name given to the altar that Moses erected to commemorate the defeat of the Amalekites at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8-15). He goes before us and behind us to give us the victory in all circumstances of life. Even in the midst of the battle, the banner of the Lord is raised over us. Psalm 23:5 says, “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” Who is the God who prepares a table of celebration in the presence of the enemy? When the enemy shall come in like a flood, then shall the Lord hold up a banner before him. The victory in all of life is the Lord’s.
Our hevenly Falther, Yahweh-Nissi-The LORD My Banner, we come to Thee and lay our burdens down and give Thee thanks for Bearing them for us. Amen.
