You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. (Psalm 23:5-6)
TOPICS: Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: america; military; pray
Father in heaven, we pray Your blessing on this day, Your grace on what we say and do.
Lord, we continue to seek the good of our military men and women, praying for Your grace to be with them.
Father, no matter how many our enemies or how strong, You will give us victory in Christ Jesus. Death, sin, the world, the devil before all these You prepare a table for us, from which no one can drive us away. You anoint our heads with oil, and our cups overflow with the never-ending blessing poured out from Your love. Surely goodness and love will follow us all the days of our lives, and we will dwell in the house of the LORD forever for You, our Shepherd, will be with us always and finally bring us home, through the blood of Jesus Christ our Savior, Amen.

A Closing Door
Beep, beep, beep, beep. The warning sound and flashing lights alerted commuters that the train door was about to close. Yet a few tardy individuals still made a frenzied scramble across the platform and onto the train. The door closed on one of them. Thankfully, it rebounded and the passenger boarded the train safely. I wondered why people took such risks when the next train would arrive in a mere 4 minutes.
There is a far more important door that we must enter before it closes. It is the door of Gods mercy. The apostle Paul tells us, Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation (2 Cor. 6:2). Christ has come, died for our sins, and has risen from the grave. He has opened the way for us to be reconciled to God and has proclaimed for us the day of salvation.
Today is that day. But one day the door of mercy will close. To those who received and served Christ, He will say, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you (Matt. 25:34). But those who dont know Him will be turned away (v.46).
Our response to Jesus Christ determines our destiny. Today Jesus invites, I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved (John 10:9).
Today Thy gate is open,
And all who enter in
Shall find a Fathers welcome,
And pardon for their sin. Allen
Theres no better day than today to enter into Gods family.
: One of the great biblical texts on salvation is 2 Corinthians 5:21. There we see the partnership of the Father and Son producing our rescue. First, all of our sins were placed on Christ, who bore them on the cross on our behalf (1 Peter 2:24). Then, Christs right standing with the Father is given to those who trust Him by faith (John 1:12). Now we are no longer enemies of God, for we have been brought to the Father by the Sons work for us. God demonstrated His love for us when He gave up His one and only Son.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

Gen. George Washington and his Troops Marching To Valley Forge December 1775 |
GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE
"Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod" William Billings Mixed District Choir, Fairfax, Virginia (Click)
IN THE COLDEST and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered his prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His Manifold Blessings upon the new Nation.
Lafayette |
Steuben |
Pulaski |
FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who marched into Valley Forge on 19 December 1777 arose, with the help of some gallant friends from across the waves, the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, global defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants.
AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high in that bleak Winter, let our prayers now rise like a fountain for our Heroes in the American Armed Forces who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and gather them in the shelter of Your Healing Wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

"God Of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand" Morman Tabernacle Choir (Click)
HEAVENLY FATHER, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these valiant men and women who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the Freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your Loving Embrace, that You cause Your Countenance to shine upon them, and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.
