Share in suffering like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving in the army gets entangled in everyday affairs; the soldier's aim is to please the enlisting officer. 2 Timothy 2:3-4 (NRSV)
This Saturday is Armed Forces Day.
Since the founding of our nation we have depended upon men and women in uniformed service to our country to maintain freedom and the American way of life. So many have given of themselves so that all of us can enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Without the Armed Services we would be at the mercy of any who would want harm to come to our democracy.
Each branch of the Armed Services provides specialized service but all serve under the flag of the United States of America. While each may be different, there are common traits inherent to the individuals serving under the banners of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force or Coast Guard.
In each and every service those who take the oath of protecting our great nation also submit to the authority of the Commander-in-Chief and the chain of command; it is mandatory that they follow orders without hesitation or question. Each person in service is also required to know the manual inside and out, and is tested on their knowledge of the contents, as well as their ability to satisfactorily perform all actions to be an effective member of the team. Finally, all who serve are required to know how to suit up for battle; they must understand the components of their armor and how to properly wear it for maximum protection against harm.
As I think about those serving each branch of our Armed Services I wonder if, as Christians in the Lord's Service, we see that those same common traits apply to our enlistment.
- Do we submit to God's, our "Commander-in-Chief's", authority and give Him our immediate obedience without question or hesitation?
-
Do we read our manual, The Bible, and know it well enough to live according to it's principles and direction? Have we studied it to learn how to be more like Christ?
-
Do we understand that we must suit up with the Armor of God in order to stand up to the spiritual battle we face each and every day? Do we even know what makes up our battle gear or how to use it against our enemy?
It takes great sacrifice from those serving to keep this country safe. Please give thanks to God for all the brave men and women who selflessly undertake the great responsibility of defending our liberties and freedom, protecting our nation. This Armed Services day fly the American flag to show your support, thank someone currently serving, or a veteran, for their service, and pray for the safety and success of all who give so that we may be free.
As you give thanks for our Armed Services, also consider the great responsibility we have as Christians to discipline ourselves so that we may be effective Christian soldiers in our service to Christ.
Blessings

The Inspiring Story of a World War II Hero's Miraculous Survival at Sea
July 30, 1945--The USS "Indianapolis" and its 1,196-man crew is making its way toward a small island in the South Pacific. The ship is sailing unescorted, assured by headquarters the waters are safe. It is midnight, and Marine Edgar Harrell and several others have sacked out on deck rather than spend the night in their hot and muggy quarters below. Fresh off a top-secret mission to deliver uranium for the atomic bombs that would ultimately end World War II, they are unaware their ship is being watched. Minutes later, six torpedoes are slicing toward the "Indy" . . .
For five horrifying days and nights after their ship went down, Harrell and his shipmates had to fend for themselves in the open seas. Plagued by dehydration, exposure, saltwater poisoning, and shark attacks, their numbers were cruelly depleted before they were miraculously rescued. This is one man's story of courage, ingenuity, and faith in God's providence in the midst of the worst naval disaster in U.S. history.

Some Parting Fun...

As they stood in formation at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, our Flight Instructor said, "All right! All you dummies fall out."
As the rest of the squad wandered away, one airman remained at attention.
The instructor walked over until he was eye-to-eye with the recruit, and then just raised a single eyebrow.
The young man smiled and said, "Sure was a lot of dummies, huh sir?"
