Kerusso Daily Devotional - In Harm's Way

Do you sometimes feel your job is just too much for one person to handle

Then let me introduce you to Franklin Roosevelt.

“FDR” was the 32nd president of the United States. By a quirk of history, he found himself leading the free world during a crippling economic meltdown…and a world war! His story is important, as we talk about sacrifice this week.

No one understood more than Roosevelt the sacrifice needed to defeat evil on the battlefield. He said, “Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget, in time, that men have died to win them.”

He had to send young men and women into harm’s way, all over the world.

John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

More than 400,000 Americans died in World War 2. From the South Pacific to Europe, soldiers looked after each other, and in many cases died so that others could live.

We should never forget that.

Let’s pray. Lord, we thank you for those who protect us. We will never forget them. Amen.
