Sunday Prepper Bible Study- Can God Bless Our Military?

Troops

“With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies.” Psalms 60:12

Today’s Bible verse proclaims a timeless spiritual truth. All through the Bible, we read stories of Israel’s military victories and failures. The victories are always linked to their obedience and Godly leadership. Their defeats are always linked to periods of insubordination to God’s Word and leadership that steers them away from God.

One of our recent Sunday Prepper Bible Studies pointed out the Pentagon’s stance on religious freedom for our armed forces. The Pentagon has restricted military chaplains from praying in “Jesus name”. They have continued the assault on our warriors’ First Amendment rights beyond this abuse.  Soldiers caught sharing Christianity can face a court martial.

I respect and appreciate all the sacrifice that has been made and continues to be made by the men and women serving in our armed forces. However, if I were a young man or woman considering a career in the military right now, I would be very hesitant about committing my life and safety to a military organization that not only fails to recognize the need for God’s blessings, but is outright attacking the right of its men and women of seeking those blessings on an individual level.

Today’s verse says that God himself will be the one who tramples down our enemies. If we will not seek his blessings, I am afraid we are on our own. I would not want to have folks shooting at me without the covering of God’s protection.

If you are new to prepping or would like to learn more about how to prepare for tomorrow, please read our 7 Step Preparedness Plan. The most important prep of all is knowing GOD. Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.

Have a blessed week and happy prepping!
