Greetings in Christ Jesus, Fellow Soldiers.
There will be a celebration today in honor of the Navy's birthday and a history of distinguished and heroic actions in service to our country. The Navy successfully conducted the landing of Allied forces at Normandy on D-Day--by many measures the most successful amphibious operation in the history of man. In Korea, the Navy was posed with another daunting mission in landing US forces at Inchon in order to save a country from the shadow of communist tyranny. They performed superbly.
While these operations required exceptional skill and encourage, they required, as all actions do, the sustaining and mysterious providence of God. He alone can whip up winds or settle the seas. He alone can manage our tumultuous lives and bring order to our spiritual chaos through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
I leave you with this verse from the Navy hymn:
O Trinity of love and power
Our brethren shield in danger's hour
From rock and tempest, fire and foe
Protect them wheresoe'er they go
Thus everymore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea
