It seems like countries have to stand in line these days to have a war with the U.S.. We have discovered we can only afford one war at a time. First it was Iraq. They were on the list twice, so Iraq again. Afghanistan came up next. That one has the possibility of going on forever. Now Iran has slipped in line. Signs of a nuclear bomb threat is showing up. Off in the distance North Korea enjoys rattling their sabres. Syria is ever present to war Israel, along with most of the other Middle East countries. You can never count out China or Russia. When will it all end?
It won't. All the while, little places like Switzerland, rarely war with anyone. They are too busy doing banking with dictators and others. Italy is broke. They never were very good at war anyway.
England, France, and Canada offer some help at times, but mostly we take on the world's threats alone.
It seems that is our calling in the world. It is a costly one.......but wait! For we who name ourselves as Believers there is peace! Peace in the midst of a war. Jesus said: "Peace I give to you (we don't have to fight for it). Not the kind the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled. Neither let it be afraid."
As you read the news of Iran's possible nuclear threat, along with the others in this dangerous world. Live with the peace of God through His Son. It will outlast any war.
