I hope he can be reinstated. It’s a shame to lose military family members over something petty. =\

READ: Psalm 63:1-8
Love the LORD your God, . . . walk in all His ways, . . . keep His commandments. Joshua 22:5
As a former high school teacher and occasional college instructor, I had this recurring thought: How terrible it would be to stand up in front of a classroom of students and have no one pay attentionto talk and have no one listen, to give instructions and have the students ignore them.
None of us enjoys being ignored. If were in a conversation with a friend, it hurts to have our words disregarded. If were in a store looking for help, its irritating to be ignored by the clerks. When were struggling with a problem, its painful when no one offers to help.
Imagine, then, how it must grieve God when we ignore Him. Think of how His heart of love must break when, despite the fact that He dwells within us through the Holy Spirit, we act as if Hes not there. Or consider how He must feel when His guidelines contained in the Book He gave us are ignored.
Lets be careful not to ignore God. In ways large and small, lets keep Him in our thoughts moment by moment. We do that by reading the inspired writings He has given us; by spending time in prayer and listening for His still, small voice; by thinking about His presence; by serving others in His name. May we be able to say with the psalmist, My soul follows close behind You (63:8).
