Today’s Scripture…
Romans 1:8-10a
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. 9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times;
Thoughts…
I come from a military family. WWII, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, all saw my family members’ service. Even now, I have a son, and son-in-law serving overseas.
Many countries honor their veterans today. I believe the biggest honor we can pay them is constantly keeping them and their families in our daily prayers.
I know today’s verses are talking about Christians in Rome to whom Paul is writing. I think we should take the time to extend this thanks to God for those who have chosen to serve to restore and keep peace in our world. We should constantly remember them all in our prayers at all times.
Prayer…
Lord, thank you for each man and woman who stepped up to serve in the military. Please keep them and their families safe and provide for their needs. ~amen
