A Biblical response to current affairs

I thought it relevant considering the bombings in Iran yesterday that we identify how the Lord directs us to respond.

The Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 1:1-4,

 “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.”

The most important thing we can be doing in a time of war is to specifically pray for our leaders for them to have Godly wisdom! As well as for the safety for all those in our military who are put into harms way on our behalf.

Paul also says in Philippians 4:6-7,

“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your requests known to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

I’m so grateful for the Lord’s presence and for His Word to guide us moment-by-moment through these very tumultuous times.
