It's been a while, but I'm back, and Lord-willing, there will be more posts here in the near future relaying my reflections of the Psalms and various spiritual truths. But, before we continue, why not take a moment of reflection, catch our breathes, and sit back as I record a quote I read in a book, Red Moon Rising, recently:
"And when we get our heads around God's character, prayer, devotion, and discipleship ceases to be a technique and becomes instinct. That's when we can take our place in an army that marches on its knees, fighting for the Prince of Peace" (14).
There's a reason why soldiers are never seen on their knees; logically, they're marching to fight, so as they "stand on their feet," the army is ready for battle and movement at any moment. However, God's army, as denoted here, is vastly different. We're still fighting, pushing through every stride to take back the lost for Christ, however, we do so, "not by might, nor by power, but by [God's] spirit," (Zechariah 4:6). There is more power behind a child's prayer than behind an army of physically trained, armed men. Why? Because through prayer, the Spirit of the Living God is released in action; no one, not even death, can defeat Him.
