Like most of you I have been TDY or deployed more times than I can count—away from my own family and my church family. One of the temptations during those times apart is to “excuse myself” from opportunities to worship. . . because I want to “relax” or “don’t know what church to go to” or “afraid of different worship styles.” However, those of you who love your local fellowship, as I do, know that to miss a Sunday is like missing a meal. It makes you hungry for the next opportunity to worship God with your Christian family. And when I am in an unfamiliar place, I have found that God is faithful and will provide for my spiritual needs if I rely on the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Because I have developed this discipline of finding a church in which to gather with fellow Christian brothers and sisters, I was recently blessed with one of those unique opportunities to get out of my “comfort zone” and experience a wonderful time of worship and fellowship while on the road.
We Shall Never Forget
On this week of Memorial Day 2025, thank you for your sacrificial service to our country and our Lord. We shall never forget. . . .
The 23rd Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
