It’s a “Every Cop Is Not A Bad Cop” Day
LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ACCORDING TO ROMANS CHAPTER 13 ARE CALLED BY YOU TO PROTECT AND SERVE US. AMEN.
One day at about 4:30 am, I received a text message that one of my city police officers had been shot while confronting a perpetrator in a domestic abuse call. I immediately went into my police chaplain mode and started praying for the officer and his family. I also prayed for the entire department and their families as well. Then I prayed for the perpetrators family because of their loss, but I didn’t stop there. You see I also prayed for the woman and her children, who were and had been abused for years by the perpetrator. This will be a lifelong trauma for her and her children. I hope and pray they will seek to counsel and know that God will help them overcome this nightmare.
Now, I’m glad that I can say that God answered my prayer because the Officer was released from the hospital some hours later. I dedicate today’s message and the following poem to him as well as all the men and women who are sworn to protect and to serve and do their job well.; REMEMBER EVERY COP IS NOT A BAD COP
“The Police Officers 23rd Psalm.”
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. His comforting hand reduces fear to naught; He makes me walk through streets of crime, But He gives me courage and peace of mind. He leads me by still waters in the path I trod, And He says in Romans I’m a “minister of God”; He leads me in righteousness as He restores my soul. For His name’s sake, He keeps me whole.
When I walk through death’s valley, right up to the door, I will fear no evil, for He comforts me more; for a Thou art with me every step of the way, as thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.
He prepares a table, especially for me, as I work daily among life’s enemies; He gives me authority to uphold the law. And He anoints my position in the midst of it all. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me, each day of my life through eternity. AMEN.
Beloved, when was the last time you prayed for an officer and told them “Thanks”?
