We, 09/03/14, "Day of Praise"
"Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the images of its gods lie shattered on the ground!" - Isaiah 21:9
It's wonderful to see the enemies of faith come crashing to their end. Today's verse says it all, ""Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the images of its gods lie shattered on the ground!" (Isaiah 21:9) Hooray! The enemies of faith come crashing to the ground wherever God's word goes forth.
That's the common thread between today's reading and the day that's ahead of us. The enemies of God's word and the enemies of our faith in God's word are defeated. ""Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the images of its gods lie shattered on the ground!" (Isaiah 21:9)
The enemies of your faith in God and the enemies of his word cannot endure. Jesus himself encourages us best, saying, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority...to overcome all the power of the enemy." (Luke 10:18-19)
And that's a reason for everyone to say...Praaaaaaaise God!!!
Praise God!
