Are you with me?
Melanie - May 22, 2009
Since it's Memorial Day weekend, I've been thinking about all the brave men and women who have fought and died for our freedom. We owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be paid.
It makes me think of a story that Beth shared at Living Proof Live in New Orleans. She read part of an article about a soldier named Aaron Davis who had recently been awarded a Silver Star, which is the third highest commendation a U.S. soldier can receive.
You can read the article if you click here.
It's an incredible story of bravery in the face of death and she highlighted this quote from the article:
"With shrapnel from a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) lodged behind his right eye, Davis later told his parents, Davlyn and Alvin Davis of Kilgore, 'The blood was gushing down my face. When I called out to God, 'Are You with me?' I heard Him answer, 'I Am, I Am.' "
I AM.
The I AM that sent Moses to guide the Israelites out of slavery, the I AM that helped a young David slay a giant, the I AM that sent his son to die on a cross for our sins.
I AM.
He is with us.
