Examining the current wars in the news and how to pray about the situation.
Specifically; of course the Ukraine and Israel situation is emphasized in the media but I'm sure there are other wars; particularly in the African theater which are still going on. Today our Pastor mentioned the statistics from Nigeria which are mind numbing as to the killing of believers and destruction of churches. If I need to cover that I will do that on another post.
Humanly speaking there has been a massive attempt to give humanitarian assistance but little is distributed in the Gaza situation.
Israel is blamed; although clearly the UN and Muslims in Gaza refusing any aid from those considered subhuman species makes the situation exponentially worse. Certainly we should pray that those seeking the Lord will find Him before its too late and that somehow situations will change; perhaps through the plans for invasion to stop this problem.
As to Ukraine we haven't seen evidence of starvation; but the government statistics say 1.7 million there are dead because of the war and a number of Russians can be added to the list. I will contemplate whether I should post this situation more frequently perhaps daily on this site in the light of what's going on of late; such as 500 that we know of killed with the latest attack where supplies were concentrated in barracks in a certain city there.
Overall; it seems that in that case anyhow fighting is useless. Jesus didn't upbraid soldiers for their position; but of course there are reminders of not taking up civilian affairs as to the scriptural analogy of us being soldiers for Christ ( 2 Timothy 2:4). Living peaceably with all men could also be a factor in such situations. Sadly the money involved with those in power is prolonging the situation. I certainly pray the conflagration won't expand to others who want to enter the theatre or else no doubt we will have the biggest war of casualties since last century.
