"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." - 2 Timothy 2:15
If you are in Texas reading this then you know that there was a BIG rodeo event in Houston recently. As part of the event, Fort Hood sent their ceremonial cavalry unit to participate. They interviewed a couple of the young soldiers in their garb. One of them identified themselves as being from the First Calvary Division. No, I did not mis-spell it. The soldier mis-pronounced it. It is a common error. (I bet their commander winced when they heard it and I doubt that not many civilians caught it) I was in the 3rd Armored Cavalry - Aviation Squadron for almost 3 years. I heard people say Calvary when they meant to say Cavalry all the time. BTW, to all you who served in the 3rd Cav - Brave Rifles!
The words are so close. But just one letter out of place makes a world of difference. Is it a military unit or the spiritual pivot point for all of humanity. A friend of ours used to say, "If you get the "I" out of place in "United", it becomes "Untied". One letter out of place. The difference is Jesus. Jesus makes Calvary significant for eternity. Jesus brings unity by faith and rebirth for eternity.
Think about it – Pray about it – Believe it – Walk in it. Let your light shine and give God the glory.
By Faith Alone By His Grace Alone And For His Glory Alone
