A day that will live in infamy


Today is the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a day that has since lived in infamy.  It was an attack that caught the nation by surprise.  During the attack the United States Navy’s Pacific Fleet managed to do a few things to avoid being damaged any more than they were.  But at the end of the day the fleet was still quite wounded and the soldiers were quite weary and perhaps feeling beaten.  As we all know, the U.S. Navy recovered in a big way and went on to win the war in the Pacific a few years later.

You may have a lot going on in your life at the moment – your own private battles.  The burden may be overwhelming and could even seem impossible.  Be mindful, though, that Jesus will not allow us to be burdened with more than we can handle.  If you offer, He will bear much of that burden for you, and in many ways He already has.  With Jesus you might still have your battles but that just means there’s a war for you to win.

Matthew 11: 28-30
