With Dr. Mitchell's concern for spiritual lessons
in Exodus, we continue in chapter 17 verse 8.
In reviewing the battle with the Amalekites, we are
reminded The Lord is our Banner.
Jesus our Savior is our advocate and intercessor and
mediator before God who is also for us. Why would God
be "for" us? Because Christ died and rose again on
our behalf. If God be "for" us, who can be against us?
No one! Christ Himself effectively prays for us that our
faith may not fail. Jesus is Lord and God answers His prayers.
Next, Moses receives counsel from his father in law,
Jethro, a Gentile, about the need for an organizational
structure that addresses Moses's need and that of the people of Israel.
With our teacher, Dr. Mitchell, on the Unchanging Word
Bible Broadcast, let's open our Bible to Exodus chapter 17
verse 8 .
