This week, the biggest story is the conflict erupting between Israel and Iran. After years of tension, Israel launched a decisive strike—Operation Rising Lion—targeting Iran’s nuclear capabilities and eliminating key military leaders. The world now waits in anxious uncertainty as missiles fly and nations posture. The Bible tells us that righteousness must sometimes confront wickedness, not out of a desire for war, but out of a commitment to peace through strength. Just as God did not leave the conflict between Himself and sinful humanity unresolved, but met it in the power of His Son’s cross, so we are reminded that hope, courage, and clarity come not from avoiding conflict, but from facing it with the truth.
