Blessed Allies

Isaiah 14:2
The nations of the world will help the Lord’s people to return, and those who come to live in their land will serve them. Those who captured Israel will themselves be captured, and Israel will rule over its enemies.

The nation of Israel has been a controversial subject for thousands of years. Many nations hate Israel and those that are it's allies. When Israel became a nation again on May 14, 1948, everything changed. Many didn't expect the Jews to have their land back. Even though it was prophesied for thousands of years in the Bible, many thought it was never going to happen. We need to be reminded that with God, all things are possible.

Many of our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers fought in World War II. During the war, the Nazi's were trying to take over Europe and ultimately, the world. Adolf Hitler and his regime, was viciously murdering innocent people and the Jews. The United States of America, still a pretty young country, began their involvement in the war in Normandy, France. We know it as D-day. It was one of the largest death tolls of any battle ever fought by mankind. Even though the stakes were high, God knew what the outcome was going to be. God knew that this young nation, "under God," was going to be used as a huge turning point and ultimately, win the war.

As we see the events unfold before our eyes with Israel today, let us not forget that they our God's chosen people. God used them to send His son Jesus into the world. God has blessed nations who support and serve alongside Israel. Pray for the nation of Israel today. Pray for The United States of America and other allies that support Israel. Pray that God will keep our nations strong, safe, and prosperous. Pray that we will continue to be a blessing back to other nations, and continue to reach them for the gospel.
