ultimate freedom

Veteran's Day Friday, November 11, 2016 (4:32 a.m.)

Holy God,

How I thank You! Thank You for the freedoms You have provided us. Thank You for the privilege of sitting here, safely in our home, talking to You and reading Your Word. Thank You, Blessed God, for the men and women who have faithfully and selflessly served in the United States Armed Forces to afford us such freedoms.

Thank You Father that our ultimate freedom is You! Thank You that Jesus came to pay the absolute price for our freedom in choosing You.

The apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth to explain new life in Christ. Easy-to-Read Version for 2 Corinthians 3:17 tells us, “The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”

The Life Recovery Bible comment for 3:17-18 speaks of Your glory as “a transformation from the inside out. This glory shines through the lives of all who trust Jesus Christ and pursue true recovery in the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Mm. Father. Thank You for Your ultimate freedom, readily available to each of us. Thank You for Your glory.

Thank You for the sacrifices made by veterans on our behalf. Bless them, Father. Keep them. Smile down on them. Show them Your kindness. Answer their prayers. And give them peace (Numbers 6:24-26 ERV).

I love You so much, Dearest God. Thank You. Amen.
