June 6th is the anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion that led to the liberation of Europe.
Eisenhower ended his pre-invasion speech to the Allied Expeditionary Force with: “Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.”
In the end the atheistic Nazi regime fell and, shortly thereafter, the Shinto empire of Japan fell. God uses even catastrophes and wars to advance His will and create opportunities for His kingdom to grow. I’ve always thought it would be interesting to study human history in light of the growth of God’s kingdom. For example, would there be as many Bible-believing churches in Japan today if Pearl Harbor never happened? Maybe someone will write a history series from that perspective one day. How did God use Charlemagne, or the printing press, or the African slave trade to advance His kingdom?
Here’s our 9-year-old’s version of D-Day. It was his history project last week.
