His banner, his announcement to the world over you is LOVE
Deb Peacock
THE LORD IS PROUD TO LOVE YOU AS HIS OWN
The Lord is reminding his people that his declaration over you is that He loves you. His announcement of introducing you to the world is as someone he loves, who he considers his beloved. He is not secretly writing this truth down somewhere private - he is declaring it over your life for all to see - you are loved, you are his beloved.
HIS LOVE COVERS AND PROTECTS YOU
The Lords love declaration over you is a covering, a guard of protection over all of your life. The banner is above you and and so it covers you completely. Every part of you is made by him and made in his image and made in his love. You are completely loved, and his love never fails (Psalm 136). His love is more powerful than any dark thing.
HE DECLARES HIS LOVE WITH FULL CONFIDENCE
The lord is sure of his love for you and is proud to declare he is yours and you are his. He is not embarrassed to be seen with you and therefore will always be there, ever present by your side. He is happy to demonstrate his presence with you as you go where he sends and as you stand up for him. You can go out in confidence knowing that He will support you and be with you and that it will be evident to everyone that the Lord is with you empowering you. He demonstrates his support and love, not doing it silently or hidden from others.
HE WILL BACK YOU AS YOU STEP OUT
As you step out in faith, choosing courage over fear, you will not turn around to find God missing or gone. He will not pull away from you and leave you alone (Duet 31:6). He will back you all the way, through every fire. At every turn and with every obstacle you face, he will be right there to discuss the next move, the next choice, the next step. As you open your mouth and declare what he says, he will stand beside you and he will nod and speak in agreement to reinforce your right words. He is your ever faithful encourager that believes in you all the way.
His banner, his announcement to the world over you is LOVE.
