Military Orders

“ For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind, and
declares to man what are His thoughts. He who makes dawn into
darkness, and treads on the high place of the earth, the Lord God
of Hosts is His Name.” – Amos 4:13 (NASB)

he military is a life filled with orders. We listen and obey
Torders, there is rank and order, and we receive PCS or TDY
orders. At times those orders come when we least expect them,
or are not ready for them. We get settled in an assignment and
then suddenly we are plucked out of the comfort of our home
and placed in a new city, state or country. In spite of the “order
of those orders,” chaos can ensue. We can feel out of place, out
of touch and out of sorts.
Fortunately we have a God of order. He orders the placement
of the stars, the direction of the tides, and the movement of the
earth. There is comfort to be found in the natural order of His
world.
When facing the orders of the military, whether deployment
or permanent change of duty, be reminded that God’s world is
orderly. We may not understand how everything works or will
work out, but God remains consistently sovereign. God never
changes. So the next time PCS, TDY or deployment orders are
issued, choose to be reminded of God’s supreme authority over
all things.

Prayer: Lord, give us peace even when military orders come.

Remember that the Lord orders the earth. 1
