Last week, a friend of mine, who is a US Air Force Asst. Fire Chief , returned from a tour in Afghanistan. He told me a story of what happened to him on a patrol...or....more, what did NOT happen to him on a patrol. He was the top gunner on the vehicle he was assigned to., While on a patrol in the area around his FOB,he said that his vehicle ran over an Improvised Explosive Device. As they ran over the device, the guys behind them recognised it to be a bomb and they took action to protect themselves. He said he was amazed that the bomb did not explode under their vehicle. It should have, It was designed to, It could have...but it DIDN'T !!! As he told this story, I was struck with this revelation...We told the Chiefs' wife that we would pray for him while he was gone. We further told her that we would pray for her and the family also. I am absolutely sure that God stepped in on his behalf and stopped the bomb from exploding and allowed them to SEE it and take the correct action. So the truth of the matter is..It could not have harmed him at all !!! Aand it did not. Because God said so.!!!
Just take a moment and read the 91st Psalm. If you have a need, just pray!!If you do not have a need, prayfor someone else! Please remember the US ARMED FORCES and all of our Military.
Praise God for his protection over our military and families!
