The Shadow That Produces Light

UV 3725/10000 The Shadow that Produces Light For our fathers did not possess the land of Canaan by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them, but Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, because You favoured and delighted in them. Psalm 44 v 3 The Lord has commanded victories and deliverance for us. We do not trust our own strength and our own power and weapons but we trust in the Lord. He favours and delights in us. He who is greatest is in us, He who is most powerful is in us, He who is most loving is in us and He is far greater than our common enemy of our souls. He directs victories, success and deliverance to visit us in all that we do or battle or struggle against- even the principalities and powers of darkness of this fallen world. The presence of God with us casts a shadow of protection, blessing and provision upon us. His is the only shadow that does not cause darkness but throws abundant light upon us. We need to constantly and continually walk in His shadow. As long as we please Him, His shadow remains strongly upon us but when we move away or disobey and displease Him, the Holy Spirit will move away from us. As long as His favour rests upon us, He will satisfy us with good things, with long life and after that eternal life. We should not depart or move to the right or left of His shadow or His presence. He is the anchor of stability and peace and strength in and for our souls. The word of God is the anchor chain that connects to the anchor of Jesus. An anchor has three hooks to lodge onto – our three hooks to connect to the Rock of Christ are prayer, praise and the word. The Lord moves ahead of us, beside us and behind us as a mighty warrior. He battles on our behalf and we only need to remain still in Him. His ten fingers are mingled with ours and He blesses whatever we do. He causes the desert in our lives to bloom, He causes the water to spring forth from dry rock. His banner over us is victory, His banner is love. His banner over us is joy. He delights in us and establishes us for we are the instruments to establish His Kingdom in human hearts.
