Today’s Thought “Boots On the Ground” G. Ward

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28

 

The sixties allowed my siblings and me to view large military vehicles parading down major boulevards in our city. These armed soldiers (National Guard) carried high powered weaponry as an order issued from the government of Michigan who sought rest on behalf of its citizenry. Mass rioting was as pervasive then as any Middle Eastern country experiences. As a kid, I marveled at seeing a live version of the “Army Men” I played with from a purchase at the “Dime Store.” My understanding of social unrest was guarded, so fear wasn’t an option.

As children of the Most High we’re yet guarded and the child-like faith we had in parental protection is the reliance necessary in avoiding fear with all the modern day chaos (cf. Pr.1:24-29). It most certainly remains incumbent of me to share truth regarding terroristic plots indigenous to America or those disgruntled abroad. Believers (we must remember) have perished for numerous generations at the hand of terrorists, while failing to know that death for every believer is without terror (cf. Jn.5:24, 14:1-3, Rev.21:4)…

Happy Thursday!
