It is Veteran’s Day. That means we have so many people to thank for spending time in the US military. That is like my grandfather WH that was in the Navy during WWII. And my grandfather Andy who I am named after (my middle name) was in the Army. My Uncles Frank and Don were in the Air Force. And there are more.
These people gave their time so others could be stronger. That is a great picture and promise from God. That is a servant.
So lets stop and say THANK YOU to those who have served our country.
1 Peter 2:17 NLT
Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God, and respect the king.
In that same way we honor God because of what He has done for us. I am grateful as I look at Scripture and seek to understand just what Jesus did for us.
One passage drew my attention this week. It was one that most likely pushed Martin Luther toward what he did and what he believed. Take a minute to read this and note what God has done for us.
Romans 5:1-2 NLT
Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
By faith and through Jesus is the one way. We have been made right with God. We have peace with God. We have a place that we did not and do not deserve. What an honor and privilege and what joy … wait … how overwhelming to know how much God has done for us and how much God loves us.
Take some time right there. Honor God and thank Him for all He has done! We are blessed as children of God.
Honor our veterans today. We are a blessed people as citizens of the United States.
