Bible Study Verse
Nehemiah 4:20
Wherever you hear the
sound of the
trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for
us! (NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts
This verse reminds me: I don't have to
fight my spiritual battles
alone; I am to listen for the battle call; join
my fellow soldiers for Christ; and that
God, Himself, will fight for me!
As I think about what
Veterans Day means to all of us, I
recognize
that I have not
had to fight for the freedoms that I enjoy in
this country. Each of us has had a family
member or friend who has fought or died,
or is fighting for our freedoms. Wherever
the
trumpet calls, the
fighting men and women of this country will
gather to
fight freedom's battles for us--to protect us
from those
who would take away our freedom. While
listening to
the radio today, I heard a song by a group
named
Avalon, entitled, "For Freedom." One of
the
verses tells
of thunder in the valley, artillery, and a
soldier
being
wounded. As he dies, he reminds us that,
if it
is for
freedom that he has fought, it is for
freedom that
he has said, "Goodbye." As I type this,
just
as my eyes filled with tears while
listening to the song, they are filled
with
tears now as I
think of what these brave warriors have
done for
us, what they have done for me. All I can
say is,
"THANK
YOU, AMERICAN SOLDIERS! I WANT
YOU
TO
KNOW THAT
YOU ARE LOVED AND
APPRECIATED!"
(CS)
Action Point
When you see someone in the uniform of
this country,
stop and thank him or her for what they are
doing for
us. This would also include police and fire
fighters. Tell
them that they are important, and that you
pray for
them daily. Then, pray.
