“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff— they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NRSV‬‬https://bible.com/bible/2016/psa.23.5-6.NRSV

COT: Many times our officers are responding to “powder kegs” (hence the workout name). I work with some family of the Knoxville Deputy Blakey and I saw the devastation of officers’ families.

Roane County Sheriff Jack Stockton once said that your loved ones don’t rest until they hear “that ripping open of the Velcro on the vest”. We need to honor and encourage our officers as they are extensions of God’s rule.

Matthew 5:8 says, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God.”

Pray for our police, fire, and military.
