1 Chronicles 29:1-30; Ezekiel 26:1-21; John 9:18-41
He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. Isaiah 2:4
On this day as we remember the sacrifices made on our behalf in recent and long-past wars, I am filled with a sense of gratitude but also a deep longing for an end. Even as several wars continue today, we long for war to cease. Look up, believer! Our hope is in the Lord and His peace. Even so, come Lord. —Jared D. Fraser
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul. —Horatio Spafford
