Gracious God,

Bless and comfort the mothers and fathers,
sons and daughters, wives and husbands
of our military personnel who are separated
from their loved ones.

Grant them the courage to face the
challenges of daily living while those
they love are away.

As unfamiliar tasks are placed before
them due to the absence of their loved
ones, grant them direction and wisdom.

Encourage their hearts and surround
them with peace.
In Your name we pray.   Amen.

by Pablo R. Diaz, Vice Presiden
of Outreach Ministries

1985! I was a young Rebel back then...Back to the Future came out that year, as did Brazil, Rocky IV, and Rambo: First Blood Part Two.

On TV I remember watching CBS's new version of The Twilight Zone, which wasn't that bad. But Miami Vice was the coolest show on TV.

Joy—Even In Poverty

Read:
Habakkuk 3:14-19

Though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; . . . yet I will rejoice in the Lord. —Habakkuk 3:17-18

Bible In One Year: 2 Kings 15-17

In the book 450 Stories for Life, Gust Anderson tells about visiting a church in a farming community of eastern Alberta, Canada, where there had been 8 years of drought. The farmers' economic situation looked hopeless. But in spite of their poverty, many of them continued to meet together to worship and praise God.

Anderson was especially impressed by the testimony of a farmer who stood up and quoted Habakkuk 3:17-18. With deep feeling, he said, "Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation." Anderson thought, That dear saint has found the secret of real joy!

It's not wrong to find pleasure in the good things money can buy, but we should never rely on them for happiness. If our fulfillment depends on material possessions, we are crushed when we lose them. But if our joy is found in the Lord, nothing can disrupt it, not even economic distress.

Yes, those who know and trust the Lord can rejoice—even in poverty! —Richard De Haan

Pleasures of earth, so seemingly sweet,
Fail at the last my longings to meet:
Only in Thee my bliss is complete;
Only, blest Lord, in Thee. —Anon.

Happiness depends on happenings; joy depends on Jesus!
