Psalms For Psalms- Day 35

In the quiet hour before battle, men quake. Swords are being sharpened. Anxiety settling in. It's go time.

Aragorn's speech at the Black Gate comes to mind.

"I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

A day may come when the courage of men fails

when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship,

but it is not this day.

An hour of wolves and shattered shields,

when the age of men comes crashing down,

but it is not this day!

This day we fight!!

By all that you hold dear on this good Earth,

I bid you stand, Men of the West!!!"

But everything changes when we have God our King on our side. He's already won the battle, so we run in confidence.

My prayer today is that we would trust in God to go before us and walk confidently to the throne of Christ Jesus our Savior.

Psalms 35- God is my Shield

Warriors prepare for battle

But God is my shield

My I trust You in the darkest hour

To God my spirit yields

Drive away evil men

Like chaff in the wind

May their way be dark and slippery

Those who have sinned

We stand firm in the heat of battle

Knowing God's sword is drawn

Hacking down our enemies

Until every one is gone

When I see your victory

In You I will rejoice

All my bones will cry out

With a loud voice

In the great congregation we praise You

All voices together as one

Giving thanks to God in Heaven

The Father, Spirit, & Son
