Ten Years After 9/11

It’s hard to believe that 10 years has passed since that morning that changed our country forever. I’ll never forget watching building one of the World Trade Center burn and then watching the plane hit building two. My heart sank and the only thing that I wanted to do was to get home to my wife and children and know that they were safe. Our nation was under attack.

As a result of those attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC, we will never be the same. Many lives were lost, many families forever changed and the world and how we view terror and how to combat it will never be the same.

Since that day, depending on how close you were to someone you know that died or what part of the country you were in at the time, the effects of 9/11/01 are different. That night and for several days following, churches were packed and the Nation was “one”. Since then, for many, they no longer attend church and you only have to turn on the news for a moment to see how divided we are as a nation. Today, let’s pray for our nation, pray for our leaders. Pray that God’s beauty would come from the ashes of that dreadful day.

Although the towers are gone there are two other “monuments” in our nation that are under attack as we speak. Tower 1 – Husbands; Tower 2 – Wives. The enemy has a full frontal attack going on to destroy this God ordained institution. Unlike the events on 9/11, the attack on marriages and marriage as an institution is a daily event. The Enemy sends his “planes” into the buildings of marriages every moment of every day. There were thousands of lives affected by the actions of a handful of terrorists on 9/11. Today, there are millions and many generations being affected by the onslaught on the family.

Today as you remember 9/11, “run home”! Make sure your family is safe. Protect yourself and your marriage and family by placing it and yourself under the control and protection of the God of the Universe who ordained and will sustain you against any and all attacks of the unseen Enemy who seeks to kill and destroy your family today.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12
