Good morning beloved, happy Tuesday, happy Veterans Day,
“He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too strong for me.”
(2 Samuel 22:18).
David fought many wars against many different enemies and God preserved him through them all. He won every battle serving in Saul’s army and later led his mighty men to victory. He did not prevail because was the strongest or the most proficient but because of his faith.
David faith in the Lord carried him on to victory. He served well as a veteran. Today is Veterans Day in the U.S. It gives us a chance to honor our veterans and thank them for their service to our country. We should take care of our veterans and support them. Far too many of them have PTSD, are homeless, and commit suicide. Let us support them financially, physically, emotionally, and mentally.
As believers we are fighting the good fight of faith, facing the devil. It is a spiritual conflict that we continue to fight all our lives. We never retire from the Lord’s service. Older saints have the most knowledge, wisdom, and experience that is so vital in the church.
Paul wrote to Timothy, “You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself in the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him” (2 Timothy 3:3-4).
Let us pray for our veterans and help them and support our older servants of the Lord. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.
The saying is, “Old soldiers never die, they simply fade away.” Once a soldier, always a soldier.
