Good Morning Everyone,
Our theme for this month: “Trusting God”
Our Bible verse for today: “These are the names of David’s mighty men …” 2 Samuel 23:8 (NIV)
Our thought for today: “Trust God to raise-up men and women to protect our nation.”
Today is Veteran’s Day. It’s the day we as a nation set aside to honor and thank all those who have served in the Armed Forces of our nation. From the earliest days in our history our nation has always relied on the bravery and sacrifice of those willing to go into harm’s way to protect us against all enemies. We should thank God for them.
King David was a great leader of his nation, but his greatness and success depended to a very large degree on a core of godly military leaders whom the Bible refers to as “David’s might men”. They in turn had the responsibility to train and lead battalions of soldiers, all of whom were tasked with protecting their nation. Had it not been for their sacrificial service, the nation of Israel would easily have been overrun by her enemies. Their service to the nation was vital, and it was ordained by God.
Today I urge you to identify the veterans among you and make it a point to thank them for their service to our country. Perhaps you could even buy them a cup of coffee, or lunch. In some manner simply remind them that a grateful nation appreciates their service.
God Bless,
Pastor Jim
