Good Morning,
It is Door County Maple Coffee that is steaming away in my cup this morning.
It is quiet thus far in the Middle East as Hamas and Israel have made to the peace table. My prayers that the hostages taken two years ago were answered. Not all of them came back alive. I mourn for their families.
1 Peter 5;8 NKJV Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
This peace treaty is shaky at best. I am sure there are some radicals who are already planning to disrupt the quiet with some antic or another. I will keep that region of the world in my prayers. I also will remember the hostages who now have to function in freedom. They will probably be on edge for a long time, if not forever. Always looking over their shoulder. No one could blame them for brewing hatred within their hearts toward their captors. I will pray that God heals their hearts.
When I think of all the lives that were lost in the last two years and the children who starved to death and a war without a victor I cannot see beyond what evil and hatred can do. Hatred is a powerful motivator and can roost within the hearts of mankind and at the most opportune time fester and spill out into the life of this world. I pray that this doesn't happen.
Have a blessed day and beware and watch to see if your own heart is the home of hatred. It might be time to serve hatred an eviction notice.
Marty
I pray as well for continued peace but that will never be until the King returns!
