His Banner Over Me Is Love

If you've ever attended a parade you know that each club or marching band is preceded by individuals proudly holding a sign. The banner has a place of importance, and gets others excited.

In this parade called life what declaration precedes you? What does the banner over you and me proclaim? If we know the Lord, he wants "to be a banner of salvation to all the world" Isaiah 13:10, and he wants to employ us to broadcast the message.

He is the emblem that goes before us to indicate who we represent. The God we know is full of compassion for the lost. And since each of us was lost and have been found, we can recall being pursued by him. The banner we carry may be the first indication our friends and family have of a hope beyond this life.

He is so worthy of our commitment. Let's rally together for the common purpose of glorifying his name.

But you have given us a banner to rally to; all who love truth will rally to it. Then you can deliver your beloved people. Psalm 40:4,5
