Strength Through It All

Once we all wake up we will be entering a day to remember.  Almost anyone can recall where they were when our nation was rattled a mere ten years ago.  This weekend has been filled with services and ceremonies, moments of silence and patriotic music as we draw together as a nation to stand strong.  Having heard a first hand testimony from one who survived the attack on our nation I have been humbled.  Some may give reasons as to why it was allowed to happen to America.  Some may say this is why we must support our troops, in order to protect our borders and our freedoms.  Though I agree that we should support those who willingly sacrifice the comfort and luxuries risking their lives in order to protect this great nation, whether be through the police or fire departments or a branch of the military, that is not my purpose tonight.  As I heard this testimony I was reminded that all things fade.  Nations will rise and fall, but the God who created this world will not.  He sits on His throne today as He has from day one and will to the very end.  The Bible says that "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe" (Proverbs 18:10).  Whatever happens in the political, military, economic or social environments of this world, God is the strong tower.  He has always and will always be the King of the Universe, with whom strength and security lies.  I love this nation and feel blessed to call myself an American, but I feel even more blessed to call myself a Christian for my true home is in heaven.
