In May 1962 , an intimidating figure delivered a final public speech at West Point Military Academy . Douglas MacArthur , who led America to victory in the Pacific during World War II , addressed cadets . He told them simple truths , ones that define honor and glory . The hall was completely still as the old general spoke in hushed tones .
The hall was completely still as the old general spoke in hushed tones . Everyone heard him speak of the honorable soldier who must rely on those divine attributes which his maker gave when he created man in his own image .
Here was perhaps the most legendary military man in the country in the 20th century , and despite his personal awards and recognition century , and despite his personal awards and recognition , he humbled himself to acknowledge the one who deserves all our honor and glory . Psalm 115.1 tells us Not to us , lord , not to us , but to your name .
Be the glory because of your love and faithfulness . The name of Christ is the one that leads us to final victory . Macarthur spoke to those cadets of the American tradition of seeing things through to complete and decisive victory . The Bible tells us we're soldiers in Christ's army .
We're standing on the most important battlefield in all of history and our mandate is to share the good news of Jesus , so that individuals live for eternity with their Creator . Let us glory in that . Let's pray . Lord , you are our Deliverer and the Victor . We honor you with our worship and with our internal thanks In Jesus' name , amen . Did you know ?
