“Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.”1 Peter 4:12If you are blessed to be a natural born citizen of the US or a legal immigrant you know the feeling of freedom and what it costs. Many men and women have given their lives in wars to secure freedom.The few remaining survivors who were on the island that horrific day can attest to the surprise and shock of this Sunday attack. This day launched the US into World War 2. Being unprepared for the carnage from this surprise attack reminds me of attacks from Satan who I guess you could say was working through the Japanese soldiers that day to disable American forces in the Pacific.“Be on your guard” it says in 1 Peter 5:8 “for the enemy of your soul prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to destroy.”Don’t be caught blindsided. Stay alert. Stay in tune with God through reading of scripture. On this solemn day of remembrance as you go about your Christmas shopping take a moment to remember the sacrifices of the US military who keep our nation free.PRAYER: Jesus just knowing you are with me brings me great delight. I pray for anyone who is still alive who survived that awful day on Pearl Harbor. Help me never return hate for hate but to pray lifting up Holy Hands to praise your name. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
