Honoring the Fallen

This Memorial Day feels different than those in recent memory. I’m sure its sense of untimeliness is related to the COVID-19 issues swirling around us. We need community – as believers and as humans – and that sense of community has been threatened.

Today is a perfect day to remember those who have fallen while fighting for our communities.

Those warriors cannot hear our thanks, but their families and descendants can. May we acknowledge their sacrifices by remembering that nothing we possess or enjoy has been gained or achieved on our own.

Others have contributed.

The Psalmist wrote:

“It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them” (Psalm 44:3).

Notice the progression in this verse – from God’s hand to His arm to His face. As though the reader is drawing closer and closer to Him, recognizing that our great and loving God is the one who gives us victory.

Let us remember the men and women who sacrificed their present and their futures so others yet to come could enjoy the very same in peaceful community.
