Honor God and He will honor you among men

But no weapon that is used against you will succeed. People might bring charges against you. But you will prove that they are wrong. Those are the things I do for my servants. I make everything right for them,” announces the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)
This has been the battle song for Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens throughout the 2013 playoffs. Many have disliked him refrencing the Bible before and after his games. However, God (I believe) has honred his confidence and his faith. These words from the prophet do not guarantee victories. They do nor preddict wins. They do however assure the believer that God walks with his children into battle and protects them from harm. He honors their character even though others may try to destroy us with words or other "darts". As we honor the Lord, He honors us. many other biblical verses and stories were used by the ravens throughout 2012-13; iron sharpens iron, David vs. Goliath and the like. I have heard the testimony of many of the players including the coach. They stuch with their faith . . . they stuck with their brothers in the faith and on the team . . . God has allowed them to taste a piece of heaven!
Honor God and He will honor you among men!
