Psa 144:1 Of David. Blessed be the LORD, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle;
Psa 144:2 he is my steadfast love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me.
Psa 144:3 O LORD, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him?
Psa 144:4 Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.
Psa 144:5 Bow your heavens, O LORD, and come down! Touch the mountains so that they smoke!
Psa 144:6 Flash forth the lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them!
Psa 144:7 Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of foreigners,
Psa 144:8 whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
Psa 144:9 I will sing a new song to you, O God; upon a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
Psa 144:10 who gives victory to kings, who rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.
Psa 144:11 Rescue me and deliver me from the hand of foreigners, whose mouths speak lies and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
Psa 144:12 May our sons in their youth be like plants full grown, our daughters like corner pillars cut for the structure of a palace;
Psa 144:13 may our granaries be full, providing all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
Psa 144:14 may our cattle be heavy with young, suffering no mishap or failure in bearing; may there be no cry of distress in our streets!
Psa 144:15 Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall! Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD!
It is a thankless job most often and young men and women don't always sign up for altruistic reasons, but having been in, you served us, by trying to do the right things, trying to protect Americans around you, and/or support those on those lines. For that service, under duress and low pay, thanks may not be enough, but it is offered in thankfulness and sincerity. Most of my family members who were in the military have passed on now, we used the day to spend with one another and appreciate the love and service of those family members. If nothing else, I pray it is a deserved day off that honors your service as well as blesses you with the closeness of family and friends, and Lord willing, His presence, mercies, and grace.
Thank you. Have a blessed day.
