In the early 19th century, US President Thomas Jefferson completed the Louisiana Purchase, stretching the borders of the fledgling republic “from sea to shining sea.”
The problem, however, was that no one really knew what was in that vast expanse of land. Maps would be needed, with clear instructions for the pioneers who would travel to the Pacific. Explorers Lewis and Clark became, in effect, the pioneers of the pioneers—preparing the way for the most massive land migration in US history. They cut a new trail that others would follow.
The apostle Paul’s commitment to ministry was framed by a similar priority. In Romans 15:20, he wrote, “I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation.” He wanted his efforts in ministry to cut a new trail—and others followed. Timothy, Titus, Mark, and Silas are just a few who followed the trail that Paul blazed.
Today that commitment is seen in Jesus’ followers who take the message of the Savior to the uttermost parts of the world. As we pray today, let’s ask for God’s blessing on His Word as we, His “ambassadors,” cut a new trail in our generation (2 Cor. 5:20).
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Joining you in prayers for our military men and women.
Father, please Bless and Protect our military. Hold them in your protective embrace. Also, please hold and comfort the families and friends of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We ask in Jesus Name. Amen.
I join in prayer for our heroes!
May Unseen Angelic Armies Make them Invincible to their Foes.
OH YES! In Jesus Name, I Pray!
Thank you for a beautiful prayer from the heart of the Father! A prayer calling for repentance! Praise His Name Forever! I agree with every precious word in the Loving Name of Jesus Christ,amen!
" Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And Strength and honor and glory and blessing!"
Revelations 5:13
May the Lord Cover our Troops with His Blessings whereever they may be in Jesus Name I ask , amen.
AMEN DEAREST SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
“Forsake me not, O Lord.”
- Psalm 38:21
Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and
temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at
all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can
do without his constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in
communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, “Forsake me not, O
Lord.” “Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe.” A little child, while
learning to walk, always needs the nurse’s aid. The ship left by the pilot
drifts at once from her course. We cannot do without continued aid from
above; let it then be your prayer to-day, “Forsake me not. Father, forsake
not thy child, lest he fall by the hand of the enemy. Shepherd, forsake
not thy lamb, lest he wander from the safety of the fold. Great
Husbandman, forsake not thy plant, lest it wither and die. ‘Forsake me
not, O Lord,’ now; and forsake me not at any moment of my life. Forsake me
not in my joys, lest they absorb my heart. Forsake me not in my sorrows,
lest I murmur against thee. Forsake me not in the day of my repentance,
lest I lose the hope of pardon, and fall into despair; and forsake me not
in the day of my strongest faith, lest faith degenerate into presumption.
Forsake me not, for without thee I am weak, but with thee I am strong.
Forsake me not, for my path is dangerous, and full of snares, and I cannot
do without thy guidance.
The hen forsakes not her brood, do thou then evermore cover me with thy
feathers, and permit me under thy wings to find my refuge.
‘Be not far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near, for there is none to
help.
‘ ‘Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!’”
“O ever in our cleansed breast,
Bid thine Eternal Spirit rest;
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure and worthy thee.”
C.H.SPURGEON
SOLI DEO GLORIA!
Amen.
Killed in action the week before, the body of Staff Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Georgia, just south of Atlanta, on June 11, 2009. The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough, Georgia. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time.
With today’s predominantly liberal media it’s easy to conclude that America no longer respects honor and no longer honors sacrifice outside the military. Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and impact of total self-sacrifice. Georgia remains one of those graceful places. The link below is a short travelogue of that day’s remarkable and painful journey. But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored.
Please share widely.
