Blessed be the Lord my Rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle------ .......... ......... ........Psalm 144:1
Through the centuries, three main viewpoints have emerged from within the church in response to the question of war:
1. Some believe no war is justifiable (a position called pacifism).
2. Others believe Christians must submit to their government and agree to fight in any war it engages in (a viewpoint known as activism).
3. But the majority of Christians hold the view that believers may support or join in defensive wars against evil aggressors – a position known as the just war theory. ............ ......... ......... ...John MacArthur
Dear Heavenly Father,
Today, Dear Lord, I come before You and ask for protection for our soldiers who are away from home in foreign lands protecting those less fortunate than ourselves. I pray for a special hedge of protection to be placed around them so that they will come home safely to their loved ones. Hold them in the palm of your hand. Keep them safe and out of harms way. Guide their steps. Direct their paths. Bless them with wisdom and desertion. I pray for their family members who are dealing with the separation anxiety that comes especially this time of year. Bless them with peace and comfort. I pray for the enemy. I pray that weapons will be thrown aside and all will fall on their knees and proclaim the name of Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
