Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1 Peter 5:8 NIV Bible Gateway
Many reading may have been children or not even born on this day. I and a majority of Americans remember it clearly. First the entire US was clear blue and 22 or in other words good weather everywhere in the lower 48.
Not since the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 had America been attacked on her own shore by enemies diametrically opposed to what America stood for. So two major symbols of economic prosperity, skyscrapers , were used as targets as jumbo jets taken over by terrorists from the Middle East flew moments apart early in the morning into the Twin Towers of The World Trade Center in NYC. Thousands perished in the planes, on the ground, and in the towers. Rescue workers perished as well. Also a plane flew into the Pentagon and another crashed in Pennsylvania.
Shock, disbelief, anger, sadness, horror, were only a few of the emotions displayed on this day. This forever changed America. American flags sold out as those who never owned one ran out to get one for their house or car to stand in solidarity with fellow Americans. Sadly we have a short memory as now that patriotic zeal we had then at that level has wained. Evil was allowed to creep not only into our country but into the government of our country. What America stands for should never be challenged. Brother and sister I continue to pray you stay vigilant and on guard against those who would want to hurt American ideals. But remember to pray for your enemies(Matthew 5:44).
PRAYER: Father I lift up those people some of them in our own country who don’t like America. I pray for truth to be taught in classrooms across America. I pray anyone who would want to do something like this again be found out and dealt with. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 
This is a very excellent message for us today. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
