Trained and Skilled for Battle

Verse of the Week

“Praise the LORD, my protector!  He trains me for battle

and prepares me for war.” (Psalm 144:1 GNT)

 May 22^nd – 31^st

Scripture Reading: Psalm 144:1; Deuteronomy 31:6

Trained and Skilled for Battle

Regardless of whether it is during peace or war time, when a soldier is commissioned for duty they do not know when or if they will return home.  Courageously they leave behind all they know and love for the sake of basically strangers. 

Those that put their faith in God will have strength and courage in the midst of fear.  He will guide, train and give them the skills needed for the task.

“Praise the LORD, my protector!  He trains me for battle

and prepares me for war.” (Psalm 144:1 GNT)

Let us remind them that He will be with them no matter where they are and will provide whatever they need for the physical, mental and spiritual battle. 

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified

because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you;

He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV)

With thanks we acknowledge the brave sacrifice of those in the military who fight for our freedom and rights. It is not unnoticed, but highly valued.

May God grant peace, safety and strength to them, as well as the families of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives.  (cw)
