Prattville Dragoons Chaplain Column for August 2020 - No Easy Passage in Tumultuous Times

 “My times are in thy hand: 

deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.” Psalm 31:15

 

As I read the passage above from Psalms and I thought about what 2020 has wrought for us in the SCV and specifically a member of our own camp, I once again tried to pry into the mind of the Lord and ask “why?” 

As I delved further into scripture, I came upon Matthew 5:11, which reminded me that God promises no easy passage in this world. Quite the opposite, in fact, as it states,  “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.”

 

Gentlemen, we are to be in this world, but not of this world. Remember the glorious reward that awaits us with the Almighty in paradise.

 

As I was reminded at the National Reunion earlier this month, there are still more for us than against us. Unfortunately, our enemies are louder than our friends. But, take heart, because, in the end, WE WIN! God has already won the battle for us. Blessed be His name!

 

May God continue to watch over you and your families and protect you all.

And may God save the South!

Remember those on our prayer list.
