Whispers of His Power – APRIL 13
Prov. 3.26: For the Lord shall be thy confidence.
When Gideon and his three hundred went out to face a foe far stronger than themselves they took a watchword, and they shouted it as they went forward. It was The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon (Judg. 7.18, 20).
Shall we take as our watchword now, The Lord is our Confidence? Shall we say it to our own hearts when they are tempted to fear, and to each other, and to those who question us, and to our Lord? Will you say it aloud to Him now, even as you read the words? The Lord is our Confidence. Alleluia.
oooOOOooo
