Friend, be His Beachhead--and find His rest!

Psalms 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty.  2  I will say of Jehovah, my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him I will trust.  7  A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; it shall not come near you.  15  He shall call on Me, and I will answer Him; I will be with Him in trouble; I will deliver Him, and honor Him.  16  With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation (Yeshua). 

A beachhead is the first critical objective in a military invasion--the spot where a force lands on enemy territory and secures a position for greater advancement. It's the place of breakthrough. And it's also the place of fiercest resistance.

On June 6, 1944--D-Day--Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in one of the most dangerous and decisive moments of World War II. The cost was staggering. Thousands laid down their lives to establish that beachhead. But securing it turned the tide of the war.

The enemy understands what's at stake at a beachhead: it's the beginning of the end for his territory. That's why he defends it with fury. But it's also where courageous soldiers — committed, focused, and unshaken — make history.

For us as believers in Yeshua (Jesus), the metaphor is rich. Each of us is called to be a beachhead for the Kingdom--a place where God's light pierces the darkness, where His truth, love, and righteousness begin to take ground.

But here's the key: before we can be effective beachheads, we must be secured. Our hearts must first be yielded. God must take hold of us--shining His light into our inner battles, tearing down strongholds, and establishing His peace where chaos once reigned.

This spiritual war is real, and it can be costly. But in the midst of it, the Lord does not just call you to fight—He also calls you to dwell in Him. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). The battle rages, but the safest place you can be is in His presence. Yes, there is sacrifice. Yes, there is warfare. But Yeshua is your Commander—and your Shelter. In Him, you’ll find both covering and rest.

Even as He uses you to bring breakthroughs in others, He invites you to abide in Him. Let your heart become His secure place--not just for warfare, but also for worship. Not just a battlefield--but a sanctuary.

Friend, so if the battle feels intense and the cost seems high, remember D-Day--and remember this: every life laid down that day was part of a greater freedom. Your surrender, your faithfulness, your rest in Him will echo in eternity. And one day, Yeshua will say to you, "Well done, good and faithful servant... you were My beachhead."

Shabbat Shalom -- See you on Monday!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,
