THE GREATEST COMMANDER

“Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.”

Deuteronomy 4:1 KJV

Pastor E. Taylor Cassel wrote the inspiring hymn “Loyalty to Christ”.  “On to victory! On to victory! Cries our great commander, On! We’ll move at His command, We’ll soon possess the land, Through loyalty, loyalty, Yes, loyalty to Christ.”  The greatest commander is Christ.

As we remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in the service of our country, let us also remember Jesus, Who not only gave His life for our country, He gave His life for every person in the world.  If we will remain faithful and serve Jesus even when we have obstacles, He will help us.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege You have given me to serve Jesus.  I pray You will comfort and encourage all who are discouraged, brokenhearted and lonely.  Please soften hardened hearts so they will invite Jesus into their heart to be their personal Saviour.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
