Dear Family,

Today is Sunday, May 22, 2022, Day 1 of Week 6. This is the 36th Day in our Count to Pentecost.

Is God our Jehovah-Nissi? Is He, our BANNER? Do we lift up His name in our private prayers and public discussions in a declaration that we trust Him and His plans for our lives, that we depend upon Him, and that He is the Source of our Strength and Protection?

It is out of the abundance of the heart that our mouths speak! (Matthew 12:34, Luke 6:45)

When things are going well, it is easy for many of us to become self-confident, or even self-willed and wayward/headstrong. It is easy for us to choose our ways over God’s ways; sometimes without even giving our choices a second thought.

When our BANNER is consistently lifted high in our lives, it is easier for us to see it, as well as for others to see it (friend or foe), and it is easier to remain aware of what it means to be under God as our BANNER.

Realizing God HAS to be our BANNER can help us submit all of our thoughts, our words, and our ways to Him.

Proverbs 3:5-7 (5) Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (6) In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. (7) Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
