"The Commander of the Armies of Heaven"

"The Commander of the armies of heaven is here among us.  He, the God of Jacob, has come to rescue us." (Psalm 46:7, Living Bible)

 

....and He will continue, "to rescue us," until the close of the Age, when He comes to take us to Himself in Glory.

 

In late December, 1944, when it seemed as though the German was about to annihilate the 101st Airborne Division surrounded in Bastogne, Belgium, elements of Patton's Third Army, led by the 37th Tank Battalion, broke through to frustrate the German Army's plans.  Most members of the 101st, even those still alive, never admitted that they needed rescued.  I have never been under such illusion.  I have needed "rescued" all my life. 

 

You may have found yourself facing annihilation in the past year, but Jesus Christ, "the Commander of the armies of heaven," the One Who, "is here among us," has seen us through another year.  There should be no doubt about His ability for 2011. 

 

Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for including me.  Amen.
