Pray for our American Heroes and our Nation

Glorious God, how we celebrate the fact that our eyes have never seen, our ears have never heard, and our mind has never conceived what You have prepared for us and all the others who truly love You. Help us, Your children in this nation, and our American Heroes to understand that this awesome plan is revealed to us by Your Spirit. As surely as You convinced the apostle Paul, convince us thoroughly that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

There is no God like You, God, who rides on the heavens to help us, and who rides on the clouds in Your majesty! You, the eternal God, are our refuge. And underneath us are Your everlasting arms. You will drive out our enemy before us, saying, "Destroy him!" Who is like Your children, O God, a people saved by the Lord? You are our shield and helper and our glorious sword. Cause our enemy to cower, Lord! Trample down his high places. Our whole being exclaims, "Who is like You, O Lord? You rescue the poor and needy from those who rob them". In Jesus name, Amen

Long-Awaited Reunion
March 20, 2012

As a boy, I had a collie named Prince Boy, a great dog that I really loved. One day, he disappeared. I didn’t know if he had been stolen or if he had simply run away—but I was devastated. I searched everywhere. In fact, one of my earliest childhood memories is of climbing a tall tree from which I could scan our neighborhood in hopes of spotting him. I desperately wanted my beloved dog back. For weeks, I was always watching and hoping to see Prince Boy again. But we were never reunited.

There’s a much greater sense of loss when we think we’ll never again see a loved one who dies. But for those who know and love the Lord, death’s parting is only temporary. One day we will be reunited forever!

Paul assured the Thessalonians, “The dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord” (1 Thess. 4:16-17). The words that provide comfort to the grieving heart are together and we. These words of reunion indicate that followers of Christ don’t ever have to experience permanent separation. For us, death is not a goodbye; it’s a “see you later.”

We’ll be reunited one day
With our loved ones who have died
If they know the Lord as Savior—
Then with Him we will abide. —Sper

God’s people never say goodbye for the last time.

Read: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

We who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. —1 Thessalonians 4:17

Bible in a Year:
1 Samuel 21-24

There is no God like You, God, who rides on the heavens to help us, and who rides on the clouds in Your majesty! You, the eternal God, are our refuge. And underneath us are Your everlasting arms.
