Even Amid the World’s Insanity,
God is at Work
By Amir Tsarfati
The battle rages in the south of Israel. The storm clouds of war build in the north. The political opposition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is back at it, trying to remove him from office.
A crazy president in Brazil is comparing Israel to Hitler’s Germany. Ignorant mobs the
world over are chanting their slogans of love for the perpetrators of the October 7 massacre, while vehemently condemning the Israeli victims.
Christians are regularly being slaughtered by Islamists in Western Africa, but the press is ignoring it. Iran missed a turn somewhere and found themselves at the South Pole, so they decided to lay claim to it.
Another Putin critic, healthy and only 47-years-old, somehow managed to die in prison.
And the president of the most powerful nation in the world, well, let’s just say it appears he may be slightly past his prime.
People, this is the crazy world we are living in!
But through it all, we know that God is in control, and that is why there are great things happening, too. You should see the number of pictures I receive from all over the world of churches, community groups, school classes, and families, all waving their Israeli flags and sending messages of love and support.
There are pro-Israel rallies and marches in many areas of the world. The new Argentine president has been very supportive of Israel, and the mainland European country that has given us the most love has been Germany, of all places!
While the U.S. is turning into a political morass for us, they continue to send arms and much-needed munitions, particularly for our missile defense systems.
Israel has established a land route to bypass the Houthi blockade of the Red Sea that is bringing us supplies from India via the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. And Israel is forging deeper friendships with most of the Gulf States, as well as very quietly, the family of Saud in Riyadh.
Even amid this world’s insanity, God is at work. He loves His nation, and He loves His people the world over. It is that truth of God’s hand on His children that comforted me and my family as we sent my number three child, a son, off this week for his mandatory military service.
For the next three years, he will serve in the IDF, and we pray that the second and third year of his stint will be much less tumultuous than this first. Once again I say, our God is in control. Hallelujah and amen!
