Psalm 139 The Gift of Life

Today as in years past, we stop and honor those who gave all that we might be free. There will be gatherings at cemeteries and at churches to honor them. King David wrote this lengthy psalm to remind us that as then, so today and in years to come, God sees it all and He alone is to be praised. “ If we were to ascend to heaven, you would be there. If I were to sprawl out in Sheol, there you would be.” Those who perished in the fight for freedom knew those words and lived by them. 

Today, stop to honor those who went before us.
