Angelic Chariots of Fire

For Memorial Day:  The battle is the Lord’s. He goes with you with His heavenly host to give you victory. Sacrifice has been high, but not for naught. For all who have lost loved ones in the cause for freedom, may God give you His peace.

May's Message, Day 30: For Memorial Day

When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:15-17 NIV

And:

All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:47 NIV

And:

For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deuteronomy 20:4 NIV

"Those who are with us are more than those who are with them," for we have God's army of the heavenly host riding upon blazing chariots of fire going with us into our battles. The battle is the Lord's and He will bring forth the victory. We often are not aware of this invisible army of angelic host, but they most assuredly are there with us. The wars and battles for freedom and democracy are costly indeed, but the ultimate victory is in our hands by His hand. Many lives have been lost in the name of freedom, but many lives have been saved and live on to be free and live free in a world filled with oppression. We have lost loved ones and sacrificed much, but it has not been for naught. As imperfect as we are, we have much to be thankful for, and let us never forget to say, "God bless the USA."
