The Reminder to Remember

Tragic deaths, heroic actions, and families forever changed mark 9/11 as an unforgettable day in history. We honor the memory of those who perished that day, remembering the many who sacrificed their safety helping others. September 11, 2001, united our country as one; people turned to God out of fear. But sadly, our nation’s unification and people looking to God were not permanent changes.

We should never underestimate the power of our enemies, and like King Jehoshaphat, turn to God in our times of need: “. . . For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon Thee” (2 Chronicles 20:12). We recall 9/11 to honor those affected by that day’s events; it’s a reminder that keeps our nation on high alert, even twenty years later. And we must also remember— never forget—that Almighty God is more powerful than any enemy we will ever face. Look to Him, stand in awe of Him, call on Him.
