2000+ Thought of the day with Meaning With a thoughtful disposition and spiritual eye, let us set forth in the discipline of humility to contemplate man as an emanation of the Divine Power and as a journey into the sacred field of darkness, to pay reverence to man’s fallen condition and to pray for divine guidance.
Two generations have found no role for him in the modern world, and the quarrel between God and man has developed until now that man must walk a solitary path, gathering his goods in caves, reflecting his inner sorrow and his outward cheerlessness as a divine character. “And the face of God changed, and it became loathsome, terrifying; there was a darkness and shrieks” (Hiram)
The prince must be reminded that the multitude of evil things that ascend and rest on the earth and lead to death are a natural phenomenon that is related to the existence of evil creatures that possess great powers and in which the devil is a powerful creature. The prince also must be reminded of the vanity of taking refuge on the mountains or at the seaside, and that this also is an outward manifestation of the inward sorrow of the prince.
To increase wisdom and consciousness, the prince must be admonished to remove any thought of looking back and withdrawing into the mountains of shame and reverence, and to maintain the virtue of the soldier in the field of battle.
And let the poet himself write down the happy endings of the victories in his poems and not the sad endings with which the hearts of men will be filled, and with which he alone will not be able to shake the veil of darkness that is covering the outer world.
“To him who bears on his arm the sword for the protection of the nation, and not for himself alone, having confidence in the victory and glory of the nation, such glory as will sink the hopes of the individual alone, and increase the national glory, the prince ought to hear his sorrow and see his sufferings for the future of his nation.”
A Prayer for the Army of the Lord, Honoring a Soldier
If God wished, and still wishes, that the soldier could live at peace, his blood that stirs and affects the earth, as well as the blood of the soldier who dies defending his country, ought not to be allowed to be drained from the earth.
And so, in this day of danger, we should honor and praise a soldier as a god for the nation’s sake, and we should pray for the success of his command, not for himself alone.
And let him who does honor to the soldier and wishes to hear the suffering of the soldier let him contemplate him as a god for the happiness of his nation, and not for himself alone.
May he love and venerate him, and pray for him to continue his sufferings; and it may happen that he may call the soldier’s name as an honor to his name, as though he were praying for himself.
A Prayer for the Army of the Lord
“I have raised up soldiers in defense of the nation and not for myself alone, and this also I pray you for as a sacred trust. And I call you my soldiers and send you in the midst of the enemies of your nation, thinking of yourself as a god for the happiness of your nation, for the goodness of the members of your nation, and for the greatness of the fame of the soldiers.
They may fall on the stones; the stones will strike them and their bodies will fall in the dust, and the dust shall cover them, and they will be gone, but we shall call their name to our remembrance, and shall wish for the people, who have fallen in the past, that their eyes will be kept open in the future, that they may suffer as we have suffered, and that they be not dishonored in death, but that their victory may bring the victory of the nation.”
(Hiram)
God give the soldier a heavy crown on his head that will give him greater honor and magnify the greatness of his deeds; and his bones may be protected from injury or mutilation; and God give him strength, which may make him victorious in battle. May the father-hearted soldier live long, and may he never be deceived. May he live to see a good result for his country. May he live long and defend his people as well as the houses and lives of the people who live in the land. May he live to see the kingdom come and go, and never die for his own soul.
And may he pray for the people who are in the land, and may they be freed from slavery and suffer for the soul, because it was taken, as though they were in battle. Let the devil escape from the souls of those who have been saved in the future from distress and danger by the efforts of the soldiers of the Lord.
“Oh God, give us thy light to shine on the deep dark corners of our soul, that we may bring forth the truths of thy gospel, and through the battle we may bear the honor and the glory of thy spirit.”
Oh God, grant to a good Christian woman who is engaged to be married, the happiness of her life in the lands of the enemy, and may she be able to find God’s favor by her prayers and good works. May she serve the soldiers of the Lord well, and may her name be praised and praised.
May she stand in the midst of those who are waging battle for their souls, and live long and long, not fearing the warfare of the soldiers of the Lord; and may she call the name of the soldier as an honor to her name. May she live long so that the angels may help her in the battle, and carry her soul on high upon the clouds. May she walk with honor on the path of eternal glory, and may she be assured that the father-hearted soldier, who never loses courage in battle, will grant a favorable advantage to the nation of the United States.
The Army of the Lord, Honoring a Soldier
God give us the soldiers of the Army of the Lord, in which the hearts of Christians may be the hearts of soldiers. May they recognize the glory of Christ, and have hearts of soldiers, the hearts of soldiers will have the power to move forward on the ways of life. And let them be citizens of the city of God, which is the city of peace. And may they preserve in themselves the faith of soldiers, and resist the allurement of Satan.
“Oh God, give us soldiers to guard the spirit of God, and the temple of God, and the building of the nation; and grant them to move forward with the courage of soldiers, which will give them honor in war, and may they be moved to preserve the security of the nation by their prayers. Oh God, also give us soldiers of the Lord, to serve the nation by their writings, to serve the army of the Lord, and to bear the honor of having written in God’s face; and may they preserve God’s freedom for the nation of the United States.”
And so God bless our army of soldiers.
