If you happen to be one of the many people who pay no attention to the news, either your local news, or the country you live in, or news from around the world, you are not the least bit distressed. So if you are one of the those, I’m sorry but I will bring you up to speed. The rest of you distressed ones hang in there with me. We will get through this together.
The United States and Iran have been in a war (although maybe not officially) since February 28th of this year. A noble effort by the United States and Israel to rid Iran of its intentions to secure a nuclear weapon and the leadership behind it was conducted quite successfully. The government of Iran was also responsible for the murdering of thousands of its citizens leading up to the military strikes. With any conflict things do not always go as planned. This is lasting longer than was anticipated and the world economy is taking a big hit and, of course, there are always politics involved.
This brings me the end of the war talks known as MOU or The Memorandum of Understanding. World leaders in their efforts to stop wars and bring peace between countries fall short most of the time. This is especially true when the MOU talks are ‘on again, off again’ several times within days. Even if the MOU is accepted for the six-month period, it is non-binding. It may very well be ‘back to the drawing board’ as was once said.
One explanation for this problem would be any agreement that does not line up with God’s plans will not hold up and never work. In the book of Psalms in says, “The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes. But the LORD’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken.” (Ps.33:10-11 nlt) World leaders not looking to the creator God to solve their problems will never reach a memorandum of understanding with lasting peace.
“Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there.” (Ps.146:3 nlt) God’s plans are binding and final. If we can only get our world leaders to trust in God.
