Hey Fellow Dads,
Many of us enjoy reading war stories—and I’ll recommend some great ones in today’s episode—but have you ever considered what needs and roles we might have in common with the heroes of those stories? Specifically, what principles can the history of D-day teach us for our roles as dads? That’s what I’ll discuss in today’s episode. —Nathan
📖 Ecclesiastes 9:10
📖 Proverbs 24:6
📖 Psalm 127:4
📖 Proverbs 13:22
📖 Proverbs 14:15
📖 1 Samuel 12:23
1 Samuel 12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
“That we may be worthily matched with this new summons of destiny, I desire solemnly to call my people to prayer and dedication. We are not unmindful of our own shortcomings, past and present. We shall ask not that God may do our will, but that we may be enabled to do the will of God: and we dare to believe that God has used our Nation and Empire as an instrument for fulfilling his high purpose.”—King George VI speech to Great Britain on D-Day, June 6, 1944 Copied from https://www.forcesnews.com/d-day/d-day-king-george-vis-1944-speech-nation-full
“The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.”
Psalm 29:11, quoted by His Majesty, King George VI, in his radio address to the British Empire and the Allies, June 6, 1944
