The winds of war blow
I will fan the flames of love
Glowing with God’s love
Growing Together
The winds of war are blowing. The
United States took military action against Iran last night.
President Donald J. Trump stated Iranian
General Qasem Soleimani was plotting harm against US service members and
diplomats. He also stated Soleimani facilitated terror attacks against other
nations.
A lot of people are saying what
happened last night will contribute to war. I will not speak on politics.
Today is the third of the month, so
I have been reading Proverbs 3. Proverbs 3:29 says, “Do not plot harm against
your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.” (New International Version)
Our human nature wants us to hurt
people when they hurt us. But someone has to say, “No. I choose not to hit
back. I choose not to perpetuate violence. I choose not to add to another
person’s pain.”
News reports say Iran has vowed to
retaliate. More American troops from Fort Bragg are being sent to the Middle
East. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that God keeps all troops safe from
all harm and danger.
Will you join me today?
Will you choose not to retaliate?
Will you choose not to add to
another person’s pain and suffering?
