Follow Him For Medical Advice and Face Paint Tips!

Sgt. Chase Rheinlander, Combat Medic Specialist, 1st Cavalry Division, applies face paint during the preparation phase of a six mile ruck march during the Army's Best Medic Competition. Twenty-two two-Soldier teams from all around the world traveled to Fort Hood, Texas to compete in the finals to be named the Army’s Best Medic. The competition is a 72-hour arduous test of the teams’ physical and mental skills. Competitors must be agile, adaptive leaders who demonstrate mature judgment while testing collective team skills in areas of physical fitness, tactical marksmanship, leadership, warrior skills, land navigation and overall knowledge of medical, technical and tactical proficiencies through a series of hands-on tasks in a simulated operational environment.

Arlie Burke was a distant cousin of mine. He was born in Boulder Colorado and married a Gorsuch named woman. The SCOUS Justice Gorsuch came form the same area and may have been related to them also. There are a lot of interesting things when one starts snooping into their ancestry.

His Amazing Help

Read: Psalm 147:8–17

[God] spreads the snow like wool. Psalm 147:16

The sheriff marveled at the prayers, estimating “hundreds of thousands or maybe millions of prayers” were lifted to God for help as the East Troublesome Fire raged through the mountains of Colorado in the fall of 2020. Living up to its name, the blaze consumed 100,000 acres in twelve hours, roaring through tinder-dry forests, burning three hundred homes to the ground, and threatening entire towns in its path. Then came “the Godsend,” as one meteorologist called it. No, not rain. A timely snowfall. It fell across the fire zone, arriving early for that time of year—dropping up to a foot or more of wet snow—slowing the fire and, in some places, stopping it.

Such merciful help seemed too amazing to explain. Does God hear our prayers for snow? And rain too?  The Bible records His many answers, including after Elijah’s hope for rain (1 Kings 18:41–46). A servant of great faith, Elijah understood God’s sovereignty, including over the weather. As Psalm 147 says of God, “He supplies the earth with rain” (v. 8). “He spreads the snow like wool . . . . Who can withstand his icy blast?” (vv. 16–17).

Elijah could hear “the sound of a heavy rain” before clouds even formed (1 Kings 18:41). Is our faith in His power that strong? God invites our trust, no matter His answer. We can look to Him for His amazing help. — Patricia Raybon

What amazing help have you seen God bring in a dire situation? How does His help encourage your faith?

Amazing God, I bow at Your feet, humbled by Your merciful help whenever it comes. Thank You for encouraging my faith with Your sovereign power throughout the earth.

Bible in a year: Leviticus 8–10; Matthew 25:31–46

Good evening, rockinqsranch...that is funny. Could it be your cousin? Family member?

[rockinqsranch]

No. He’s a Cinematographer in Texas, and actually too old to be in military training at this point.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hey there, Janey...((HUGS))...are you having nice weather at home?

Did Frontier buy another airline?

[luvie]

Always remember them
...and the sacrifices they make for us! 🇺🇸

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

CRAZY day up there today! Heavy snowfalls twice, clear skies now but the wind is blowing snow all over the place at the airport. I hope THAT calms down before you go out for your appointment tomorrow. BRRRRRRRRR

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Is it still warm enough there to keep melting your snow?

It felt like spring here today. We have a couple more nice days before winter moves back in Saturday. *sigh* Gettin’ errands dealt with while it’s a joy to get out and about. :-)
