Psalm 20:5 NKJV
We will rejoice in Your Salvation, And in the Name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.
What I notice about the protesters, be it "Just stop oil" or "Free Palestine" supporters - they are bold and unashamed - mostly in an aggressive manner - waving inflammatory slogans and defacing property.
Their message is "in your face" and unmistakable.
Compare that to the timid way in which we, as Christians, carry the gospel of Jesus, almost apologising, afraid of causing offence!
This Psalm speaks of raising our banners in the Name of the Lord - being proud of Him - not hiding Him away.
Not to say that we should be "Bible bashers", forcing Jesus down people's throats, in an aggressive manner.
Yet let us be unafraid to identify as a follower of Christ and display Him in loving ways....
1 Peter 3:15 NLT
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.
