Captain of the Armies

A year ago today my nephew Zeke went to be with the L-rd.  It is amazing how a little guy that I have never had the privilege to meet or hold has had such an impact on my life.  The testimony of his life has been shared with thousands of people all over the world.  My life will never be the same.  I have learned to appreciate my children even more, even when their behavior is not so lovely.  I have learned to be thankful instead of complaining.  I have learned to trust in G-d even when it does not make sense.  It has been so hard to see those you love suffer so much.  Not knowing what to do, we pray continually for healing and for joy to enter in again some day. 
I have wrestled with G-d over the question, "Why did you take Zeke and Wyatt?"  This year the L-rd has been speaking to me about his name "The God of Heaven's Armies" Adonai Eloheinu Tzavot.  The L-rd told me to write him a song from Revelation 15:3-4.  It is the song they will sing in heaven at the time that the beast is defeated.  Rev. 15 says it they were singing the song of Moshe, the song of the Lamb.  It is taken almost totally from the scripture.

The Song of Moshe, The Song of the Lamb
You are the God of Heaven's Armies
Adonai Eloheinu Tzavot
Just and true are your ways
Adonai Eloheinu Tzavot
Great and wonderful are the things that you have done.
Adonai, who will not fear and glorify your name?
Chorus:
Because You alone are Holy,
You alone are Holy
King of the Nations
Adonai Eloheinu Tzavot

All nations will bow and worship before you.
Adonai Eloheinu Tzavot
For your righteous deeds have been revealed.
Adonai Eloheinu Tzavot
Great and wonderful are the things that you have done.
Adonai, who will not fear and glorify your name?
Chorus:

A little over a week after writing this song, Wyatt went to be with the L-rd.   There are two more warriors that have been added to the heavenly army.  Revelation 19:14 says. "The armies of heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses."  I can totally see Wyatt and Zeke following Yeshua on his white horse to defeat the forces of the beast.  Some day Wyatt will introduce me to his little brother Zeke.  We have a lot of catching up to do.  Until then, we miss you.  Blessed be the name of the L-rd.
