Greetings,
Yesterday, one of my husband’s
favorite TV programs had a special Memorial Day episode. All
day long Diesel Brothers kept a
running countdown that in eight hours then seven then six etc… one of their monster
trucks would be jumping over a flying airplane. Jorge was ridiculously excited,
but honestly, I wasn’t that interested.
I was busy unpacking from a little weekend trip, cooking up some turkey
burgers for dinner, and just tidying up in general. And then the most soul-touching thing happened. Right before the stunt, the actual stars of
the show held hands, formed a circle, prayed an awesome prayer thanking God for
our awesome troops, asked for His divine protection, and sealed the deal the
only way I know how, “In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN.”
I was waiting to see if they
would mention our Lord and Savior, and when they unashamedly did, I rejoiced! It’s
not lost on me that not everyone on our planet has the luxury of freedom of
speech and freedom to practice any religion of their choice.
Given that we have these
privileges, let us be bold in our pursuit and public acknowledgement of Christ.
He is the Giver of life and the One Who Sustains us all.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You that
we are free to speak Your Name anywhere and everywhere. Help us to never back down and be brave as we
seek Your blessings. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
