You've provided some pretty terrific graphics, too, MB. Thanks for helping Amy with this thread - it's gonna be a keeper and worth comin' back to see all the additions tonight and tomorrow.

Atta Girls, Amy and Mama Bear!!!

[Mama_Bear]

And I pray that God will bless and keep them safe and bring them back home to their families and friends. In Jesus" name I pray.

This is my prayer as well. In Jesus name, Amen.

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks, Dave. Praise from you is high praise, indeed. It means a great deal to me because I admire you as a proud veteran and patriot, a man of God, and an exemplary family man. They don't come any Finer than Diver Dave.

(P.S.........don't tell anyone, but this is a Finest thread rerun-rerun from a couple years ago - but, I don't think military tributes can be posted too often.) :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, La Enchiladita.

This post took longer than any I have ever put together because of the number of tables and links and graphics, etc., but I can honestly say, every moment I put into it was a labor of love for those who serve in our military.

I wish every deployed member of our armed forces could know how much we admire and appreciate and pray for them.

[La Enchiladita]

That is a beautiful sentiment, MB, because it sure is true on my part. I treasure every one of them and I do admire.

Prayers for the CIC, too.

Prayers for the CIC, too.

Okay, I have racked my brain long enough. At risk of showing my complete ignorance (since I am probably the only person on the planet who doesn't know this)........what is the "CIC"?

Angry Floods

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: MP3

READ: Psalm 93

The floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. —Psalm 93:3

Trouble comes our way, according to Psalm 93, in relentless waves that surge and pound against our souls and break upon them with furious force. “The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice,” and they are deafening (v.3).

Yet above the tempest we hear the psalmist’s refrain: “The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea” (v.4).

Indeed, “the Lord reigns”! He is clothed with majesty and strength. He sits as King, exalted higher than the waves that rise above us, deeper than their immeasurable depths, greater than their strongest surge. The storm is in His all-powerful hands: “The world is established, so that it cannot be moved,” for His rule over it was established long ago (v.1). He rules the raging of the sea; the “wind and the sea obey Him” (Mark 4:37-41). He speaks and they are still.

The storm will not last forever. Yet, while it rages, you can cling to the Lord’s promises of love and faithfulness, for His “testimonies are very sure” (Ps. 93:5). Waves of trouble and grief may sweep over you, but you will not be swept away. He “is able to keep you from stumbling” (Jude 24). Our Father in heaven is holding your hand. —David H. Roper

When overwhelmed with problems,
When weak or tired or ill,
When storms are fierce and raging
Just hear His “Peace, be still.”  —Jarvis

When adversity is ready to strike us, then God is most ready to strengthen us.

Bible in One Year:   Ezekiel 33-34; 1 Peter 5
