Trooping the Colour

In my late teens I applied to join the British Army, but I failed the final interview.  I still love the Army and what they stand for. I now get to work with Army veterans and ask them lots of questions about their life in the Army.

I missed watching "Trooping the Colour" aka the King's Birthday Parade on 14th June. I finally watched it yesterday on the BBC-iPlayer.

For me, the Army represents discipline and obedience. I find it interesting how the officers follow the sergeant major's commands. He says "turn right" and they all turn right.

I believe Jesus is the Commander in Chief that we, as Christians, follow. However, we don't always follow His commands.  I also believe each of us is a commander in our own right. Our minds and bodies are our officers, which we are meant to command. (Romans 12: 1-2)

God bless the British Army.

Thank you, Jesus, for being my Commander in Chief. ❤️

Ps: I also watched the military parade on YouTube honouring the American Army's 250th anniversary. They were so laid back compared to the British parade. 😊 I liked it though

Relevant Bible verses:

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12: 1-2

Here are some photos from my laptop of Trooping the Colour.
