Scripture to read

Exodus 17:8–16 (ESV)

Read the full passage on Bible.com to see it in context.

What This Shows Us

After the battle with Amalek, Moses built an altar and called it "The LORD is my banner." A banner was a raised marker that showed an army where to gather. The name says Israel's help came from God, not from their own fighting skill.

Truth to Remember

God's people depend on Him, not on their own power.

Reflection question

What struggle do you need to place under God's leadership?

Guided prayer

Lord, You are my banner. I stop pretending I can win this on my own. Lead me, and let my life gather around You. Amen.
