Hooah!
“And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.”
(2 Chronicles 14:8)
Today’s Morsel: Today we celebrate the US Army’s Birthday. The U.S. Army was founded on 14 June 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of riflemen to serve the United Colonies for one year. Since that time, 249 years later, the US Army, along with its sister services (Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Space Force) has kept America and her allies safe. Many soldiers have sacrificed themselves, their families, and their careers, and some have even paid the ultimate sacrifice, for our freedom and the freedom of others. No, freedom is not free. Freedom costs. And often it costs soldiers their lives and their livelihood for it. Jesus said: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) Some, however, have shown that they are not appreciative for the sacrifices that are being made by those who wear the uniform and serve. And it is usually those same individuals who are not appreciative for what Jesus did for them. There has only been two people who were willing to die for you for your freedom. Jesus Christ, and the US Soldier! Let’s appreciate both.
Happy Birthday ARMY. Hooah!
Sing: Well, I’m a soldier, in God’s army, and I’m marching, I’m claiming victory. I will not give up, I will not turn around; I’m a solder, marching heaven bound.
Thought For Today: “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” (2 Timothy 2:4)
