Courageous Ones

Our Dan and his MRAP
2009

"This is My command - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

As an infantry Marine in Iraq, our Dan courageously drove the lead MRAP on his unit's patrols. My hope for his safety rested more on God than the Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected military vehicle designed to withstand IED (improvised explosive device) attacks and ambushes.

This morning, I received a request for prayer from a traveler in a dangerous land across the sea. 

Beloved, will you join me in praying for our military and missionaries putting their lives on the line for the safety and salvation of others?

O courageous one, the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. May no weapon formed against you prosper in Jesus' name, and may God Almighty guard your going out and coming in from this day forward and forever more!
