MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE

05- 29- 11 MI DAILY DEVOTION
MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE
(Hebrews 13:3; 7) 3- “Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 7- Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.”
“There has never yet been a person in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.” Theodore Roosevelt
It’s so easy to remember things and people that are so close to your heart. On the other hand, it is also so easy for us to recall and to dig in, in our memory the bad circumstances in life that happened even from decades ago. The writer of the book of Hebrews has a great message for us. First, he said; “Remember them that are in bonds… and those who suffer adversity…” And then he said; “Remember them which have the rule over you…” This time, he was talking about the pastors and preachers. This Memorial day, as we remember the fallen soldiers of our land and may we also remember those who are in the service of the King of kings and Lord of lords, especially those who have gone before us. Honor them by remembering their families who were left behind.
We are told in the book of Hebrews to do good, to be helpful and to be supportive and also to be respectful. (Hebrews 13:16; 24) “But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 24- Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.”
