Just One More Lord

"Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare Your power to the next generation, Your mighty acts to all who are to come"- Psalm 71:18 (NIV).

In the movie Hacksaw Ridge, based on a true story, Private Desmond Doss was persecuted for refusing to carry a gun into battle during WWII, because of his religious beliefs. However, he earned the respect and adoration of his fellow soldiers during the Battle of Okinawa by saving 75 men without firing a shot, earning him the Congressional Medal of Honor. He kept running back onto the battlefield, dragging or carrying injured soldiers off the field; all the while saying, "Just one more Lord; just one more." That should be every Christian's prayer, to save those who are about to be lost on this spiritual battlefield. We are never too old, too poor, too tired, too wronged, too powerless to stop declaring God's power and mighty acts to the next generation. God did not let go of Private Doss and He will not let go of you. Lift your voice and say, "Just one more Lord; just one more."
