Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier or National Guardsman


Dear Lord, I am so far from home and at times feel so alone. I miss my family.
I miss my friends. Bless me with the strength and will to carry on when
the pressures are rough and the days are long. I pray not for a lighter load,
but help to carry it, on whatever road you lead. Fill me with your
strength and the courage to take one step at a time. Take care of my loved
ones while I’m gone and keep them safe, and hold my ship, Lord, in the
palm of your hand. Amen.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing." -from THE BIBLE: I Peter 3:15-17

READ: Psalm 139:7-18

In Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me. —Psalm 139:16

Chuck Montague was undergoing an extended series of treatments at a cancer center far from home. Then his treatments were abruptly interrupted by another medical condition. But God answered prayer and removed this problem. Later, when Chuck testified in his church back home, he told of his gratitude for the prayers of God’s people and the truths from His Word that had ministered to him and his wife, Janet.

At times Chuck had wondered whether or not he would survive. That thought drove him to the Scriptures, and he carefully read Psalm 139. His attention was drawn to verse 16, which says, “In Your book they were all written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.” Before we were created, all of our days were “fashioned” by the Lord. “It lifted my spirit to know that my life is in God’s hands,” Chuck said. “Every jug of milk or can of tuna has an expiration date. Well, so have I. . . . God’s timing is best.”

As we suffer illness or grow older, we naturally think more about death. If we’re believers in Christ, we can be confident that death is an open door to eternal life with Jesus. With the psalmist David, we are comforted by the truth that the God who loves us knows our “expiration date.”

From Him, who loves me now so well,
What power my soul can sever?
Shall life or death, or earth or hell?
No—I am His forever. —Stebbins

God’s timing is perfect—even in death.

Good evening, all.

Happy Sunday to all.

INNOCENCE IS PRICELESS

One Sunday morning, the preacher noticed little Alex
standing in the foyer of the church, staring up at a large
plaque. It was covered with names with small American
flags mounted on either side of it.

The seven year old had been staring at the plaque for some
time, so the preacher walked up, stood beside the little
boy, and said quietly, "Good morning Alex."
"Good morning Preacher," he replied, still focused on the plaque.

"Preacher, what is this?" he asked.

The preacher said, "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the
young men and women who died in the service."

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.

Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling
with fear, asked,

"Which service, the 9:45 or the 11:15 ?"
