We often discuss on the team how we are on the frontline of the spiritual battlefield. Which is so true. Everyday, we get faced with plenty of spiritual attacks. From the simplest thing like a table breaking, to our health, to exhaustion, or injury. Occasionally, our vehicle likes to fail us. But no matter what, God always gets us through it.
We are currently in Baltimore and I decided to go down to the lobby this morning to have my quiet time. While I was sitting in the lobby, about 50 U.S. Air Force Soldiers came into the lobby just getting back from overseas. I saw one of them walk over to get a cup of coffee. Feeling a tug on my heart, I went over and asked if I could pay for his drink and thanked him for his service. Having a mother who retired in the Air Force and a sister who is currently in the Air Force, it brings tears to my eyes anytime I even see a soldier. I'm SO thankful and SO blessed that they never had to get deployed. I can't imagine having a loved one fight in the ACTUAL frontline of a real battlefield. Our little battles everyday do not compare to standing on the frontline of the battlefield. So this one is for all the Military out there. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your service!
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. -2 Timothy 2:1-3.
