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.
