Warriors, let us rejoice in the hope of the glory of Our Great Chief and Captain! Creator Yahweh is the LORD our God. He takes hold of our right hand and says, “Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid.”

He whispers these words to us even when we feel as if we are no more than a worm, when we are small and insignificant in comparison to our enemies, when we walk dark paths with little light to brighten our way. His breath blows across the mountains and valleys and enters our souls, giving hope where all was lost.

It is then, in our darkest of dark places, that our Great Chief and Captain declares that he will help us. We have reason to hope and reason to rejoice. Our Redeemer is Creator Yahweh and we know that he lives, not only in the air that we breathe but also within our very souls.
