OUR CAPTAIN

"And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper."

2 Chronicles 13:12
King James Version

Katharyn Bacon wrote a hymn of encouragement about our Saviour "ON TO VICTORY" What a healing balm it is to our weary battle scarred heart to know that Jesus not only leads us, He also helps us and encourages us.

"Hark! the bugle sounds To arms! To the battlefield now speed you, On to victr’y, soldiers on! Fear you not defeat or harms, Christ Himself will ever lead you, On to victr’y, soldiers on!"

Heavenly Father, we praise You and thank You for helping us. You are a tender loving Father. What a balm it is to our weary battle scared heart to know You will never hit us or kick us out of Heaven.

I love You so much, dear Father. Thank You for the privilege You have given me to serve Jesus by writing devotions these last twenty years. Thank You for opening Your heart to us and sending Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.

I pray for every man, for every woman, for every boy and every girl who has not invited Jesus into their heart to be their Saviour. May today be the day they say yes to Jesus and open the door of their heart and let Him come in before it is too late. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Don't miss out on spending eternity with Jesus. He allowed them to spit on Him, curse Him, mock Him, and nail Him to the cross with the blood flowing down His body because He loves you so much.

If you are reading this devotion, know that Jesus loves you. He loved you yesterday. He loves you today. He will love you tomorrow and for all eternity. Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge how much He loves you?
