Thought for Today: Thursday December 04

The desire for peace is universal. But simply telling people to stop fighting and love each other is not the solution for the tension, discord, and violence that exist around the globe. Diplomats and leaders have tried to do this for centuries, yet the world history is filled with wars and conflicts. The problem lies within the human heart; by nature, we are selfish and greedy. Even leaders are not exempt from these sins. Even when we want peace, it often eludes us because of our greed or anger or jealousy. Only YHVH can change the human heart, and that is why our greatest need is spiritual renewal. Make this day a day of pray for the peace of Israel and for your own country and leaders. But most important, pray for each other for spiritual healing.
