I thank God whom I serve...with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. II Timothy 1:3 President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed Armistice Day for November 11, 1919, to remember those who died in World War I. In 1945, Raymond Weeks from Birmingham, Alabama led the way to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans who served and currently serve in U.S. military. The national holiday of Veterans Day was born. The apostle Paul speaks of an invisible fight. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:10-12) As you observe Veterans Day, remember to be a spiritual veteran. Put on the unseen armor of truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and Spirit-led prayer. Pray continually for your leaders, citizens and veterans of this country. Then thank the God whom You serve for the people who help protect you.
