"The Lord Fights Our Battles"

Tomorrow our nation celebrates Memorial Day. It’s a day for us to remember those who have served our nation in battle, especially those who gave their life to protect our freedoms. Maybe you’ve been to Arlington National cemetery and have seen the thousands upon thousands of graves. Or maybe you’ll remember a relative that has served and given their life in battle. Across the country millions of Americans remember the battles that have been fought, and the lives lost – and we thank every single one of our servicemen and women for protecting our country and freedoms.

In our Old Testament lesson, there was a battle that was fought on a new frontier for God’s people. Joshua and the Israelites were there – but more importantly as we’ll hear, so was the Lord. Yes, the Lord fought the battle of Jericho, and The Lord Fights Our Battles still today.
