I pray that we always remember

Today is the 17th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on American soil. I, as I am sure others do, remember it like it was yesterday. There are still images etched into my deepest psyche that will never be erased. We can never forget or suffer the chance that it will happen again.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't dwell on the events of that horrible, terrible day. But, I also never forget what happened. We can't afford to let our guard down because the enemy is still out there; there are those who would love to destroy us just because we are Christian, just because we are American. My prayer is that we always remember that these enemies are alive and well.

Today's word is Psalm 25:2, NIV, which reads, "I trust in You; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me."

David was a mighty warrior, GOD'S warrior. When something needed to be taken care of, David was the man for the job. Yes, David did a lot of things wrong; he made a lot of mistakes. But, when it came to doing GOD'S work and will, David seemed to be always ready, always vigilant, always prepared to face and defeat the enemy. Why? Because he knew Whom he served.

I remember all those brave men, women, and children that lost so much seventeen years ago. I pray for those who are still affected by those loses. I pray that GOD will be close to them today and always. I pray that they KNOW that GOD is close and that they can put their trust in Him. I pray that we always remember.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
