Merry Christmas, dear friends! In 1719, an English minister named Issac Watts penned the song we all love titled Joy To The World. Oh, how we, as Christians, need our JOY restored! May our lives be a joyful testimony that the Saviour has come and will come again! During this Christmas season, let's repeat the sounding joy!

In Exodus chapter seventeen, we read of Israel's great victory over their enemy. Moses then built an altar and called it: Jehovah-Nissi. Meaning God is our Banner and standard of defense. As we give honor to the flag of our United States, let's give honor, praise, and glory to the ONE Who is our banner! His truth is marching on!

When we begin to see the battle through the eyes of faith (like Elisha's servant), we will see the mighty Heavenly host that is fighting for us!
