Again with the fighting... Will they never learn? Will we never learn? Has there ever been a time that the whole world lived without some kind of war going on? Will there ever be?
After a couple major battles, one in which over 40,000 Syrians die, the Syrians decide they should make peace with Israel. The Syrians become subjects to Israel. But, is that really peace? Is it peace when we have to be subdued by another, when we become beholding to another for our lives?
In this world, I think that there can only be peace within ourselves as we are reconciled to God, through Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray for peace for the whole world daily, but as long as our sinful human natures exist there will always will be strife. Peace does not come by man. (No matter how much the politicians and lobbyists and all others try or pretend to try) Peace is a gift from God. Jesus said on more than one occasion. "Peace be with you." It is a blessing.
May you be blessed with the peace of God this and every day.
