Greetings in Christ Jesus, Fellow Soldiers.
It is easy to feel helpless on a deployment. Why? Because in certain ways we are! If (really, when) your family faces hardship, there is not much you can do. You can talk with them, care for them from afar, pray for them--but you can't hold them or physically protect them.
Deployment reinforces the reality that God is sovereign (all-controlling) over this world and every life is in His hand. To Him, then, we must cast our lives and those of our loved ones. Embrace your helplessness, but our God is mighty to save.
Feeling helpless today? Good! Cast your burden upon Christ.
"Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to make you stand in his presence with glory, blameless with great joy--to the only God our savior through Jesus Christ our Lord--be all glory, majesty, authority, and power, now and forever more. Amen." (Jude's Doxology)
