For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
Psalm 44:6-7 World English Bible
Reflection
Security and international stability shape the security of citizens everywhere. When international conflicts ignite, people naturally look to diplomatic partnerships, defence capabilities, and tactical advantages for reassurance. Yet true safety ultimately relies on the Lord's preserving hand. Believers can ask that leaders and communities in the Middle East recognize divine oversight amidst geopolitical tensions. May wisdom guide leaders toward peace, while citizens find quiet trust not merely in weapons or strategic alliances, but in God's ongoing watchfulness and favour over the land.
Prayer
Pray for Israel, that they would recognize God's protection over His land. While some highlight the country's military strength and technological advances in the defence of the weekend's attack, others appreciate alliances with the U.S., the U.K., Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
