Listen from:
Thou Hast given a banner to them that fear thee. Psalm 60:4
SA 60:4{Then what is your banner, and what are you doing with it? For if you are among them that fear God, He has given you a banner that it may be displayed. Carrying a banner means something. First, it means that you belong to or have to do with those whose banner you carry, and that you are not ashamed of them. Secondly, it means that we are ready to fight, and ready to encourage others to fight under the same banner. Thirdly, it means rejoicing. You know how flags are hung out on special days, and carried in triumphal processions. Then, in the name of our God we will set up our banners now!
The Master hath called us, the children who fear Him,
Who march 'neath Christ's banner, His own little band;
We love Him, and seek Him; we long to be near Him,
And rest in the light of His beautiful land.
