Today is Veterans' Day. I admit that I have not in the past given it its due. I was busy raising a family and working and thought of it as a light traffic day on the way to work. Yes, I would say a prayer for the veterans, but I barely gave it a thought. My own dad is a veteran! Shame on me for my antipathy!
I'm not sure what all I'm going to do differently this year. I have a real estate training class all day and a church function tonight so I won't have time to attend any formal Veterans' Day functions. What I am going to do is pray every chance I get for America's veterans today. I'll pray for provision, peace, grace and mercy. I will pray they will know down to their very souls how much we appreciate them and the sacrifices they have given for our country.
I was reading in I Timothy 2:1-4 this morning: "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." NKJV
So in accordance with the Scripture, along with praying for the veterans I'm going to pray for our president and all who are in governmental authority. Thanks be to God that America is a country founded on Christian principles and that we have the freedom to publicly pray for and honor our veterans!
