Our Spiritual Combat Badge
"May he turn our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways and to keep the commands...so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is no other" (1 Kings 8:58, 60).
Scripture Focus: 1 Kings 8:54-66
His Combat Medical Badge was testimony to his intense bravery in saving the lives of many wounded soldiers in the middle of the most intense enemy onslaught of the Vietnam War. He also served in WW II and in Korea prior to Vietnam as a Combat Medic. Shortly before his death he dreamed that he was standing on a hilltop, a line of people stretched before him moving toward a distant horizon. They were all soldiers and civilians, and as they passed him, they shook his hand and said, "thank you." I suspect that when he arrived in heaven, things happened somewhat that way. This man's bravery had flown out of his strong faith in God and belief in heaven. Indeed, he was a caring person right to the end.
Every day there are people God brings into our lives. Resolve to make the most of each contact, offering hope, healing, friendship and faith, to the extent that our lives truly can affect others. Make it your goal that all the people of the earth may know His name and fear Him.
Insight: Wearing The Yoke Of Jesus Is The Highest Of All Honors. We Are Under His Ownership And Serve At His Beck And Call.
