I think about how much God defends me.......and mostly I am unaware of the different ways, the extent. When mowing or weed eating along the road, I think about angels guarding our backs against the cars coming towards us. With a blink of an eye...........I think about how He and His army never stop. This verse causes me to have a vision of His vast army, marching as one, headed for battle - for me. For His family.
They say it is always darkest before the dawn. It seems when we are in a trial, or valley, when it seems there is no hope - His army arrives - at dawn. How I have to remind myself that He is always there with me - every step. We are so unaware of the whole spiritual battle raging around us. He isn't. He is right there in the thick of it all - guiding, protecting, keeping the peace - my Commander in Chief.
What a comfort I receive knowing this, that He is on the march........all night long. That He always, always arrives as dawn breaks. That in the death of His Son - my Savior - He arose and won the battle over the grave - over sin. I love that I know I am on the side that won.
That I belong to an army that is always marching, taking up the call to win others to Him.

It is awesome that He always has our backs, even when we turn the other way. Now that is true love!
