【Deuteronomy 20:3-4】

「"And he shall say to them, 'Hear, O Israel: 　Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies.　Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, 　and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; 　'for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, 　to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.'」　 Amen. 　As a law for going into battle, it seems that those who had built a new house and had not yet dedicated it, those who had not yet finished the harvest, and those who were engaged to be married were exempt from military service. It also stipulated that those who were weak because of fear should return home. And when it came time to fight, it seems that the priests stepped forward to encourage and bless them. Jesus also said. (Mattew. 28:18) "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.・・・and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." 　May we gain strength from the Word of the Lord today....God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
