DEVOTION: Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us. Nehemiah 4:16
"Our God will fight for us!" We can't even begin to imagine the battles being fought between the Lord and Satan for our souls, for our very lives. There is a battle, an other worldly battle, being fought minute by minute between the Lord and His angels against the devil and his demons. The battle is for our very souls.
The trouble is that we often end up fighting with Satan. When we give into temptation, when we fail to use God's gifts of Word and Sacrament as we should, when we deliberately and openly sin knowing that it is against God's will, it is as if we are taking up a sword against the Lord who is fighting for us.
That is why God gives us the gift of repentance, so we can throw our swords down that we have against Him and pick up the sword of His Word and the shield of His sacraments and fight against the devil who is trying to destroy our souls and claim them as his own.
We can see this fight even more literally in place like Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and throughout many countries in Africa as well. There they are literally taking up the sword against the devil and his workers call ISIS. They aren't just fighting against temptations and spiritual struggles from within, they are struggling for their lives and the lives of their families. Moms are leaving their children all alone to join their husbands in fighting against these evil satanic terrorists.
The battle is everywhere folks, but the good news is that in the end, despite these horrors, despite these lost battles, our Lord Jesus has already won the war! He has already fought for us and won the war with His own life on the cross! Satan's demise is already accounted for!
So keep taking up the sword of the Spirit against the devil! The Lord will fight for us and HE WILL WIN!
Let us pray: Lord God, these temptations, these battles are too difficult for us to fight alone. Fight for us God! Amen.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: What gate did Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests rebuild? Nehemiah 3:1 Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt the Sheep Gate. It was built in the northeast corner of the city. A total of 10 gates were built. It was fitting that the high priest build the first gate. (Thanks Dianne!) Thanks also to Doug Herzog for answering the question!
