General Sherman began his famous march to the sea. When he came to a town that resisted him, he shot everybody shooting at him. He took all the livestock for provisions. He destroyed the place of their munitions. He pulled up the railroad tracks and when he was done, he barbecued it. Atlanta was a sprawling southern town made mostly of wood and it was feeding the southern war. General Sherman’s fame reached Atlanta and when he arrived they had blown their own gun powder up. All that was left to do was to burn it. Sherman did just that, he burned it to the ground. As he continued his march, he headed for Savannah only to find that they had surrendered. General Sherman offered the city of Savannah to Abraham Lincoln as a Christmas present. Four months later, the Civil war was over.
At the end of his victory, there was an offering. When God brings you through a battle like the one you have been going through, commemorate the occasion. I like to mark my victories so that I will never forget them. Sit around the old oak tree and tell the story of how we got over. There is nothing wrong with bragging on the God you serve.
