There are Christians in Gaza, just an FYI. Be blessed.
That is very interesting. Please share what you know about the fate of Christians in Gaza currently.
I have been praying for innocent people on both sides. I have even been praying for the animals!
And I think I’ll get on my little soapbox here about how I personally see things in Israel. Hope nobody minds.
Following the directions in the Bible, that is the way to have peace. Weapons may have their place, but the Almighty rules.
The Bible tells us to pray for the peace of Israel. So I do include that prayer along with my other daily prayers.
But what else does the Bible say? It says that if the Lord does not guard the city, the watchmen watch in vain. As with the intelligence failure in Gaza.
What causes the Lord to guard the city? Obedience to him.
I am sorry, but the truth is that Israel, like the United States, and so many nations around the world, does not live in the state of obedience.
Think about all the babies that have been killed in abortuaries, the LGBT movement making great headways, drug use and inappropriate content being rampant.
Mentioning such unpleasant topics may cause my post to be deleted. I hope not. I’m only affirming what the Bible shows. That the Almighty hates all those kinds of things, and will punish a nation eventually who supports them.
Israel has become increasingly secular, even pagan in many ways, in its practices and beliefs. For example the nightclub that was attacked in Gaza was featuring an image of Buddha.
I think the biggest prayer we can pray for Israel is for repentance. (Likewise for our own nation.)
2 Chronicles 7:14, “…if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
In the meantime, I’ve been praying for innocent people, for holy angels to help them in every way.
