‘To Have Faith Is Important.
a) Revelation 6:15; 19:18. Without Faith on the Day of God we will want to hide from Him. Whether we be:-
1- Kings.
2- Rulers.
3- Military Chiefs.
4- Rich and powerful.
5- Servants.
6- Free people.
b) Habakkuk 2:4. The upright person will have Life through their good Faith.
c) Galatians 2:20. True Believers live now by Faith in the Son of God Who loved us and gave His Life for us.
d) 2 Corinthians 5:7. Our life is a matter of Faith and not of sight.
(Through this Second one I see that To Have Faith Is Important)

Military Chiefs are powerful people. They may sometimes be the best form of National Leadership for a Nation, especially in a time of national crisis. Good Military Chiefs have self control and self discipline and may also expect the same qualities to be in the lives of the people that they lead. It is good to pray for our national Military Chiefs.
