God allows his people to go through times of serious suffering. He even let their enemies have victory over them sometimes. But at the last minute, when everything seems lost, God will unfurl his banner. “Then you planted a flag to rally your people, an unfurled flag to look to for courage.”TM He will charge in to the rescue with the sounding of the trumpet. (Just like the cavalry in the old westerns). Not only will He rescue them from their enemy, but will take back the ground that the enemy had captured and then reverse the fortunes of war. So, when you feel the battle raging the strongest, don’t look for help from other people and don’t try to take things into your own hands ..God will take care of it all – – – trust me… No, Trust HIM……
When people fail us, when circumstances crumble, when everything seems lost – keep your ear open for the trumpet charge and your eyes peeled for the unfurled and waving banner of God’s love…. it will show up…just in the nick of time…!! He will look us in the eye and say, “Who will take me to the thick of the fight?”TM
