Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. (Isaiah 40:21-24)
TOPICS: Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: america; military; pray
Father of all, we come to You in Christs Name, and with the confidence He gives us.
Lord, we pray that You would protect all our military men and women, and give wisdom to those who lead them, at every level.
O God, from the beginning, since the time the world was founded, You sit enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. You stretch out the heavens like a canopy, and spread them out like a tent to live in blue skies and starry hosts. You bring princes to naught and reduce the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, than You blow on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. All earthly glory fades, all human power ends, and You alone reign forever the King of kings and Lord of lords, God everlastingly. We praise You, who is above and before all things, in the Name of Jesus who loves us, Amen.

Lord God, Creator of all heaven and earth, I ask that You woud keep all of the unpaid members of all of the state Militias safely tucked under your mighty right arm, that you would keep them, our first and last line of defense, safe, blessing them with courage and You.
For they are the men who love our country and their fellow man so much that for no pay, they swear to uphold it and them.
Amen.

The Ultimate Reunion
Sept 27, 2014
Read: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Ill never forget the vigil of sitting by my dads bed as he spent his last few days with us before slipping into eternity. To this day the moment of his passing continues to have a profound effect on me. My dad was always there for me. I could call him whenever I needed counsel. I have great memories of our days fishing together; we would talk about God and the Bible, and I would prompt him to tell those fun stories from his youth on the farm.
But when Dad took his last breath, I became aware of the irreversible finality of death. He was gone from this world. And my heart had a vacancy sign hung on its door.
Yet, even in the midst of such loss and grief, Gods Word speaks encouragingly into the emptiness. The apostle Paul teaches us that at the coming of the Lord Jesus, those who have gone on before will rise first and we shall be caught up together with them . . . . And thus we shall always be with the Lord (1 Thess. 4:17). Now thats a reunion Im really looking forward to! Not only to be reunited with my dad, but to be with Jesus forever.
C. S. Lewis said, Christians never say goodbye. Im eagerly awaiting that ultimate reunion!
Lord, in the midst of our sorrow and loss, remind
us of the glorious eternal reunion that is waiting
for us. Comfort us in our grief and fill our hearts
with joyful anticipation of the day You will return!
O Death, where is your sting? 1 Corinthians 15:55
In the Bible, sleep is a euphemism for physical death (Ps. 13:3; Matt. 9:24; 27:52; John 11:11-13; Acts 7:60). Daniel 12:2 says, Those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. Jesus affirmed that the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forththose who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28-29). On that day when Jesus returns, believers, those who sleep in Jesus (1 Thess. 4:14), will be resurrected first (v.16). Then the believers who are still alive will be caught up or raptured to meet Christ in the air (v.17).
