hopeful in the prophecy

I will not pretend to understand
all that is prophetic.

But the hopeful words about
a Warrior,
a Leader,
a Guide...
one who proudly gathers us 'round
uniting us to His cause,
that is one I will gladly follow.

Look, He is riding in...
He will lift up a banner
to the nations from afar,
And will whistle to them
from the end of the earth;
Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly.
No one will be weary or stumble among them,
No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
Whose arrows are sharp,
And all their bows bent;
Their horses’ hooves will seem like flint,
And their wheels like a whirlwind.
Their roaring will be like a lion,
They will roar like young lions;
Yes, they will roar
And lay hold of the prey;
They will carry it away safely,
And no one will deliver.
Isaiah 5:26-29 NKJV

What a vision of victory...
our Savior who leads this charge.

I will gladly follow,
not weary, nor lacking sleep.
My belt of truth fastened,
my shoes of peace laced tight.

He has armed me with arrows,
these children at my side...
the daughter warriors, trained well.

And should I get to ride in a chariot...
what a thrill that would be.
My hands holding tight the reigns
as I feel these horses charge forward.
With full force they challenge ahead
the wheels whisking beneath in gravel.

This is not a day to fear.
This is a dream realized.
Finally strong in the knowing
that I will take my position and stand still...
to see the salvation of the Lord.

For we will not be a small force,
but rather surrounded
by a myriad of angel warriors,
trained in battle even since
the days of Elisha in flaming chariots.

Word of God
train me, today...
to embrace all prophecy as
an exciting reality of hope,
to know that You are already in the future,
​working all things for good!
