Get ready to fight, you and the whole company that’s
been called out. Take charge and wait for orders. After a long time, you’ll be
given your orders. In the distant future you’ll arrive at a country that has
recovered from a devastating war. People from many nations will be gathered
there on the mountains of Israel, for a long time now a wasteland. These people
have been brought back from many countries and now live safe and secure. You’ll
rise like a thunderstorm and roll in like clouds and cover the land, you and
the massed troops with you. Ezekiel 38:7-9 The Message
As often happens, I’ve had
many “God moments” again this week. I’ve been blessed with constant inspiration
from above and sometimes I sit at the computer, hands on the keyboard, not
knowing which of many things I should write about.
While going through my e-mail
this morning, I read a blog post which reminded me what today was. November 11.
Veteran’s Day. I wrote a post a while back in memory of my cousin Ben who died
in Vietnam. What our veterans have done for our country, for our freedoms is
staggering. Unless we have been in those battlefields, carried a weapon,
slogged through mud and death how can we begin to fathom the sacrifices made
for us.
Pause today and remember the
men and women who have given so much, have given their lives so we can have our
freedoms. Praise God that we don’t have to worship Him in secret, that we can
meet on Sunday mornings in His house without fear.
Thank you Lord, for letting me live in a country where
my freedom is guaranteed and thank you for all the men and women who have fought for that freedom. Let me not take that for granted. Amen
