Healing

You alone Lord are the great physcian who heals broken emotions, bones, monds and relationships. In the name of Jesus, heal all those returning from combat, restore their minds and emotions. Comfort those who have lost friends and family members, physically strengthen those recovering from wounds.

Finding Fault

Finding fault is not all that hard for anyone to find these days, I am full of them, can't even imagine how I have the courage to get up and face the day let alone work through the issues. I asked someone a question the other day that I will pose to those who may read this. Whats the difference between a hero and a non-hero?

I'd be interested in knowing. I will give you another one. Can you claim yourself as christian and still be dealing with PTSD? I think for most this is an easier question to answer, but again I venture to say most will answer no but again I would be interested in knowing where you stand.

There is no way for someone to to understand what it is like to run into dangerous situations while others are fleeing it. Uncommon valor? courage? hero? or is it something more. Love of country, love of service before self, loyalty.

What drives you to get up and face your day, clean slate? no worries? not a sinner? hmmmm, maybe time to evaluate where you are standing. But don't take my word for it, speak the guy in charge, he is always listening I would challenge us to do the same.

Spiritual Utilities

There are some amazing similarities between our computers and life as a christian. There are any number of commands which use to keep our computers healthy, much as God does, we have help files, we have examples, and we have templates.

Far too often we wait until something has happened in our lives before we turn to God, rather than being proactive or praising God for just the gift of being able to take the next breath or to see the dawning of the next day.

Like most relationships we take them for granted until we are reminded that communications is a mandatory requirement, not optional. God however does not follow human definitions for things we can not explain (define).

Use your Spiritual Utilities God has given us through birth right, when we became baptised we were reborn into life with him, giving us authority to be known as his, a child of God. These utilities are always the latest and greatest, no need for upgrades or replacements, no defects, perfect for any occasions and always in style, most importantly it is compatible with everything, because everything is his.

Rules of Engagement

One of the cardinal rules of military operations is knowing your rules of engagement, they usually consist of lessons learned by those no longer around to talk about it, one of those rules everyone usually over quotes is "never leave your wingman", although honestly they do just that when opportunity provides them with a choice.

So what are the alternatives, "be a loner?" God does not intend for us to ever got it alone, this is why we have male and female, God created a companion for Adam in the Garden of Eden, a helper, someone for him to share the beauty of God's creation with.

Often more times than not we place our own ambitions before all else and then spin legalisms to justify our choices made. God's wonderful gift of free choice gives us the freedom to come to him, not through his command, but through our own choice and love for him as he loves us, unobstructed by greed or ambition.

My prayer for you for today is to release yourself from your foolish pride and ambition and come to know the lord on not just a corperate level, but a personal level. The guilt we feel for the sins we commit is keeping us from enjoying his greatest gift of all, eternal life. Wisdom in his word is what truely sets us free from those shackles.

God Bless you all today, for today is your second chance.
