“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.”

Of all the quotes that is my favorite. It applies to all kinds of situations beside war.

Does anyone know who said: “Duty is the most sublime word in the English language”?

Troubled Times

July 23, 2012

If you’ve never heard of Murphy’s Law, you’ve probably experienced it: “If anything can go wrong, it will.”

Murphy’s maxim reminds me of the principle Jesus shared with His disciples when He told them, “In this world you will have trouble” (John 16:33 NIV). In other words, we can count on it—sooner or later we will hit troubled times. It’s not the way God originally intended life to be, but when the human race first succumbed to Satan’s seduction in the garden, everything on this planet fell into the grip of sin. And the result has been disorder and dysfunction ever since.

The reality of trouble in life is obvious. It’s the reality of peace that often eludes us. Interestingly, when Jesus warned His followers about trouble, in the same breath He also promised peace. He even told them to “be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (v.33). The word overcome indicates a past event that has a continuing effect. Not only did Jesus conquer the fallen world through His death and resurrection, but He continues to provide victory, no matter how much trouble we may face.

So, although we can expect some trouble in this fallen world, the good news is that we can count on Jesus for peace in troubled times.

Dear Lord, thank You for always being with us.
We ask that when troubles invariably come,
You would renew in us once again the blessed
peace of Your presence. Amen.

In the midst of troubles, peace can be found in Jesus.

Read: John 16:25-33

In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. —John 16:33

Good evening Kathy! ((HUGS!)) I look at General Patton and see what we are currently lacking as a Nation. He surely was a great leader and great man. We are in real need of his example of courage and leadership as a people. He was one of our nations greatest ever for sure.
