Freedom Is Not To Be Taken For Granted

 

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.Galatians 5:1

 

November 11 is Veterans Day honoring every man and woman who ever put on the military uniform to serve their country. This is a day to say thanks for our freedoms which were secured by military members keeping us safe.  

The military was never meant to be a social experiment but there have been a few times in history when those in charge unfortunately weakened it by deeming it so. This experimentation weakens it. 

The late President Ronald Reagan said “ "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation." Think about that. Also the late President Abraham Lincoln said  "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves". Give thanks for those brave soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines who served so you might have a comfortable secure life. 

PRAYER: Father guard us from enemies within our own country who want to destroy us. Keep leaders be vigilant to those threats and help protect what we have. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
