"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends"
(John 15:13)
Today I got one of those prayer email chain laters. Usually I say a short prayer for whatever the request is and let everyone else do all the forwarding. Today I did something different. Today I prayed a good time looking at each of the pictures, for the service men who lost their lives, for the families and children who do not have a dad coming home to them, for those still fighting for their safety, to quick end to these wars and our Lord's return.
Jesus tells us in this world we will have all kinds of tribulations. Many times we apply this pasage of scripture to the difficulties we are personally having. This time I want us to see this from a global perspective understanding that ALL of the troubles of the world Jesus has overcome for us.
We also know that the last days will have many wars and rumors of wars and over the last century history tells us that there are an exponential amount of wars today compare to centuries ago.
Jesus already overcome the world and we are only waiting for the day when all will manifest. That day when we will be "caught up in the air" and we will "be like him and see Him as He is." Hallelujah.
I have included some of those pictures here. As you look at them, pray for the families and friends and loved ones and ask our Lord to bless them who gave their lives for us.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, This world is in such great turmoil and there are many wars going on right now. Many have given their lives to protect our country. Bless them Lord and their families and loved ones. Bring peace upon our world and come quickly. In Jesus name. Amen
