“Thank You Veterans”
By Dianne Prince
“When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, ‘The Lord is with you, mighty warrior’” (Judges 6:12, NIV).
Every veteran I meet inspires me. Like my brother, Retired Colonel Don Carter, many veterans are disciplined problem-solvers with a “take charge” spirit. They do what they say and they have the ability to break down complex issues and come up with practical solutions.
In today’s scripture, the angel of the Lord calls Gideon “mighty warrior.” Like Gideon, many veterans undertake missions that test their limits and faith, yet they persevere, knowing their sacrifices serve a greater purpose.
Today, we honor our veterans as mighty warriors. Thank you for your courage, resilience, sacrifice and your commitment to face danger for the sake of protecting our freedoms. May you overcome any fear or doubt, and may God cover you and your families.
To everyone listening, please show your support and appreciation to a veteran. A simple “thank you” goes a long way. Lift them up in gratitude and prayer—praying for their peace, well-being, and God’s sustaining presence in their lives.
Happy Veteran’s Day to all of our mighty warriors. The Lord is with you.
