Taking a break from social media is wise medicine for the mind, body, and soul right now, I feel you. Prayer and reflection have helped me tremendously lately. It reminded me to trust in the One who is truly in control, rather than leaning extensively on our own understanding of personalities and fast-moving events. We could easily be missing the bigger picture on what looks like Trump caving or betraying his own strong stance on Iran and friendship with Israel.
With that in mind, I told myself: it is a Memorandum of Understanding, a temporary framework, not a final deal. Iโm hoping and praying itโs classic Trump/Bibi strategic maneuvering while Trump prioritizes a strong Republican Senate in the midterms and oil prices are lowered, which is causing much discontent among Americans. He already doesnโt have the House, and if Democrats flip the Senate, it could kneecap everything else and incapacitate his, still to be accomplished, goals as President. Once thatโs secured and Iran inevitably violates the terms (as they always do), real โhell breaking looseโ on Iran will resume. Weโve seen Trump and Bibi play the long game before. So, letโs keep praying for a pouring of Divine wisdom and Godโs hand on our leaders, and protection for the USA and Israel. Never forgetting YHWH is still sovereign over it all. We who care need to stay vigilant, prayerful and faithful. Amen. ๐๐ผ
