This Memorial Day weekend, Americans will honor the men and women who gave their lives during wartime, making the ultimate sacrifice, throughout this nation’s lengthy military history. A high price was paid by many, defending the freedoms and liberties upon which the founding fathers constructed the constitution of the United States. Causes worth defending, principles worth protecting. Heaven is filled with the courageous (Nehemiah 9:27) who took on mortal enemies and earned their stripes by walking in the faith that their heroic efforts would not go in vain. While we may never face the persecution that Jesus confronted during his time on earth, the spiritual battlefield is every bit as real as the fight on foreign soils (Job 34:22). As believers, we stand steadfast and confidently ask God for His provision as we suit up to wage war against sin and evil, both seen and unseen. In the grip of His glory and grace, angels at our side, we pay respect in silent tribute to those fallen soldiers, knowing that the promised day of final victory is coming (1 John 5:4). With salvation secure in you, Father, give me wings that I may fly to the freedom found in your magnificent kingdom.
