On Today’s episode of the Kerusso Daily Devotional, we talk about the importance of remembering why our nation is the Land of the Free.
Joshua 1:9 commands us, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Our daily blessings can be taken for granted. Let’s never forget just why America is a beacon of freedom and hope in a harsh world.

Kerusso Daily Devotional - The Living Word 5
God’s Word is a collection of individual books about the history of the world, poetry, worship songs, letters, and the beginnings of the Church.
But is also all about Jesus!
Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”
Jesus, who came to our world as God in the flesh, is actually the Creator of everything that exists. Most amazing, He is today alive. He was crucified and laid in a tomb 2,000 years ago, but rose again and lives to be the King of our lives.
As the Word, He is aware of literally everything, including our thoughts. He hears the cry of your heart. He knows when you are depressed. He knows your thoughts and how you feel about things.
If He does all that, why not talk to Him today? Tell Jesus how you feel. His story isn’t just words on a page. He is the Living Word.
Let’s pray.
Lord, your mercy and grace for us are incredible! We are grateful that you sent Jesus to defeat evil and death. Amen.
Making a collage is fun and a memorable way to help people keep an image in their minds. Our new “The Living Word” T-Shirt reminds us every day that our Lord loves us and wants to stay in touch with us! Shop the look at Kerusso.com. That’s K-E-R-U-S-S-O dot com.

Kerusso Daily Devotional - Land of the Free 2
Matt Axelson was a smiling, sandy-haired native of California. In 2000, he entered the Army and became a Navy SEAL.
Then 9/11 happened.
In the sweltering summer heat of Afghanistan in 2005, Axelson’s team was told to capture a senior member of the Taliban. Unfortunately, the team was betrayed by locals sympathetic to the Taliban, and the SEALs found themselves surrounded by upwards of 100 enemy fighters.
During a fierce firefight, Axelson was hit in the head and chest, but continued fighting until the end. He died, along with two of his team. Matt’s last words were, “Tell Cindy I love her.”
He was thinking of his wife. Of his family. He was there in a tough place, far from the green, green grass of home.
Joshua 1:9 reminds us, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
The price for living in a wonderful country is high. It’s very, very high.
No matter our politics—because none of that really matters when we stop and think about heroes like Matt—we can honor them. We appreciate our heroes more than we can say.
Let’s pray.
Lord, we thank you that one day you will wipe all tears from our eyes and death will be no more. Amen.
